"Booming residential area"

This area was but a few years ago an expanse of corn fields. It is increasingly being developed into residential property. Conveniently located a few miles from Clarksville, and Interstate 65. Seems like a reasonably quiet and comfortable place to live.

"Latest major commercial development in Clark County"

Veterans Parkway is essentially the spill-over from Hwy 131, which has filled to capacity with malls, retail and restaurants. Veterans Parkway is lined with many large retail stores such as Sams Club / Walmart, Target, Lowes Home Improvement, Best Buy, and many others. The east end of the parkway is very heavily trafficked while the west end is just beginning to be developed.

"Busy main retail route"

This area used to be a real nightmare to drive on, but recent improvements have made it much easier to navigate. Still, there is a lot of traffic during weekend peaks and holidays. The development of Veterans Parkway has somewhat relieved the congestion in this area. Since there is such a density of retail, malls and restaurants in the area, it is a constant parade of loud traffic.

"Main artery for New Albany"

This is a very busy street, as all the major retail and restaurant chains are located along its length, as well as the county hospital and a few dapplings of homes. The traffic is heavy, but moves at a good pace. The heavy volume of traffic and somewhat poor design of one way street intersections and lane changes makes it difficult to navigate for out of towners. The volume of traffic also contributes to a lot of wear and tear on the road, which is often dotted with potholes.

"Highway through rural america."

I find myself choosing this route just to enjoy the farms and scenery versus the interstate when traveling in the area. Traffic has never been an issue, as the road is completely adequate. Occasionally there may be a tractor or slow moving vehicle, but it is rare and to be expected.

"Main artery of Georgetown, Indiana"

This area has seen great amounts of growth over the past decade and is now almost a constant parade of traffic. It does seem to always move in an orderly fashion, however. Numerous posted speed limits may earn you a ticket if not adhered to. As close to the country as you can get, while still having easy access to the interstate.

"College street in a college town."

The best part of living here seemed to be that nothing was far away. A short drive could take you to anything from the park to the mall. Traffic was congested at times, but never unbearably so. The occasional loud car or stereo pass by. As this street does pass the WKU campus, there is the usual congestion during games and events.

"Secluded dead-end street on the edge of the county."

This is about as secluded and peaceful as it gets outside of living in the wilderness. The houses are all situated on acreage, and the area is very peaceful with little traffic. The street may get some potholes, as it is on the edge of the county. A stray pet or wildlife such as deer, or turkey may be seen wandering through from time to time. If you're looking for peace and quiet in Floyd County, this is the quietest street that I am aware of.

"Ideal country living"

This road spans from Georgetown to Greenville, Indiana and has little traffic other than the handful of residents and school buses. While the area has seen growth over the past decade, it has not been extreme to where it has strained the traffic or public services. The downside is that it is "out in the county" so even the "corner grocery" is near 3 miles drive.

"Small town charm, but developing very rapidly."

This street is a major artery from the suburbs to the cities of New Albany and Louisville for a great deal of Floyd and Harrison counties. Unfortunately, it has had a great deal of development take place since it was first conceived and built. While all attributes of small town charm are present, such as farm houses, livestock, and gardens clearly visible along its route, it is also dappled with commerce and large housing developments that cause a great deal of traffic during the morning and evening rush hours. While the majority of the road is 50 MPH posted speed, congestion rarely makes that possible. Overall this is a safe and quiet area, however.
