LOCAL
TIPS:
I advise new and experienced drivers as follows:
1. Locals should be aware that folks new in the area may actually slow or
stop when approaching traffic lights that turn yellow or red before they arrive
at an intersection.
2. Individuals new to the area should know that some locals believe that
they are allowed to go through a traffic light no matter what color it is as
long as they observed it to be green at some time during their approach.
3. Pedestrians should know that being in a cross-walk may place you at
risk from local drivers.
4. Local drivers should know that some pedestrians are from places where
pedestrians are offered protection in cross-walks until they leave the
cross-walk area.
5. Bicyclists and joggers are always at risk from local drivers.
6. There is no agreement among local drivers on the appropriate course of
action to take when an ambulance approaches or a school bus stops with lights
flashing. EXPECT THE UNEXPECTED. Be prepared for chaos!
7. A single continuous street may take on several names as you travel on
it. You are not lost just because you no longer recognize the name of the
street that you are on.
8. When driving on anything paved in Central Kentucky, do NOT assume that
any road can be considered safe. Unbanked curves, soft shoulders,
drop-offs, disappearing lanes, fallen rocks, large animals, hidden views on
rolling hills, and inoperable rail crossings are likely to be encountered.
9. Area parking lots are often designed to maximize confusion, hazard and
difficulty in auto navigation.
10. The timing or phasing of traffic signals penalizes drivers who stay at
the speed limit and rewards the speeder who jack-rabbits ahead to make each
light.
PLEASE DRIVE CAREFULLY, DEFENSIVELY,
ALERTLY AND SOBER.

Tips:
For finding addresses, zip codes & phone numbers:
(Why waste time & $ on calling the operator or
searching through a phone book when you can quickly get address and phone
information for free?)
1. Choose valid address to get to the National Address
Server so that you can enter the portion of address that you have and the server
will return the address in the proper zip-4 postal format.
2. To find an address when you have only a name: choose valid
address to get to the National Address Server and choose people
search.
3. To find a zip code choose zip codes on the Personal
Coach menu or valid address to get to the National Address
Server where you will choose zip search.
4. To find a phone number: choose white pages from the Personal
Coach menu. You will be at the Ultimate White Pages which
lets you search over services from Yahoo, WhoWhere, Switchboard, InfoSpace,
AnyWho and WorldPages.
The Ultimate White Pages also has a reverse search section for
when you know only the phone number. It also has links to map searches.
