[[File:KY4 West Sign - Near KY353 (43429277410).jpg|thumb|Cars driving on New Circle Road near the North Broadway intersection.]] '''New Circle Road''', also known as '''Kentucky Route 4''', is a Kentucky state highway that serves as an inner beltway around [[Lexington, Kentucky|Lexington]], which is part of the consolidated city-county government with [[Fayette County]]. The state designates the start and finish of the road at its interchange with [[Nicholasville Road]] on the city's south side. Exit numbering increases as one travels clockwise. Roughly three-fourths of the highway is limited-access, with all movements controlled at 10 interchanges. The remainder is classified as an urban principal arterial highway with a heavy mix of driveway entrances and intersections with one single-point urban interchange at US 60 ([[Winchester Road]]) and a diverging diamond interchange at US 68 ([[Harrodsburg Road]]). The dividing line between the limited-access segment and the urban arterial highway is US 25 ([[Richmond Road|Richmond]] and Georgetown Roads) north and east of the city. The speed limit is 55 mph (89 km/h) on the freeway section and 45 mph (72 km/h) on the urban arterial highway. New Circle Road suffers serious traffic congestion during rush hour due to the lack of other freeways running through the city. Harrodsburg Road, Nicholasville Road, [[Tates Creek Road]], and [[Newtown Pike]] also suffer serious congestion because of people trying to get on New Circle and head out of downtown Lexington. ==References== * [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_Circle_Road New Circle Road.
