400 Mile Yard Sale: treasures and traffic through Sunday

Kentucky's annual 400 Mile Yard Sale is officially underway today through Sunday.

Hundreds of shoppers will travel along US 68 from Reidland through Marshall and Trigg counties, all the way through central Kentucky to Maysville near Cincinnati. There's also a segment of US 641 included from Aurora through Murray to Hazel.

Not only will local residents turn out for the sale, but lots of out-of-town visitors will also make the trek, and they'll use sources like the website 400 Mile dot com to find out where to shop.

Officials at the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet are urging motorists who travel along Route 68 over the next few days to be alert for pedestrians, especially children, as well as slower traffic and drivers making unexpected stops and starts on the roadway.

Transportation officials urge drivers to park in safe places when they stop at yard sales along the way.
