  Somerset - Burnside Assistant Police Chief Bruce Blevins was standing on the side of the road Wednesday, surrounded by the chilly December air at the intersection of Ky. 90 and U.S. 27, when he was almost hit by a passing car.
  
  Ironic, considering he was busy handling the scene of an automobile accident - one of two consecutive wrecks at that same spot of road.
  
  "(One of those involved in the accident) had a small child in the back of the car," said Blevins, "and a car slid past it to avoid another car."
  
  In other words, not a safe situation for anyone - adult or child.
  
  That's why Blevins is trying to get the word out now, advising motorists to take precaution when on the road and at that intersection in particular, where construction is currently underway on a partial cloverleaf interchange.
  
  Blevins knows construction can make traffic a little hairy - but the situation doesn't have to be made worse by drivers not taking precautions, he suggested.
  
  "Most of (the recent problems) are due to traffic congestion, with four lanes going down to two lanes," said Blevins.
  
  "There are too many distractions, with people doing other things while they're driving - talking on the cell phone, putting on make-up - and taking away from the driver's attention," he added."They're too much in a hurry and aren't paying attention."
  
  On that particular Wednesday, Blevins worked two accidents, one right after the other - and three more were narrowly avoided while he was in the course of duty.
  
  Worse, he said, the prime time frames for the auto mishaps that have been occurring there are in the morning between 7 and 8 a.m. and the afternoons between 3 and 4 p.m. - times when children are headed to school in cars and buses.
  
  "It is imperative that motorists pay attention to traffic laws at all times, but especially during these particular times," said Blevins.
  
  And it's not like there's a sudden speed zone trap - motorists can go 45 m.p.h. at that intersection, yet speeding remains a problem, Blevins noted.
  
  "People need to just pay attention to traffic laws," said Blevins.
  ...
  Hopefully, said Blevins, these problems can be avoided if his agency lets people know right now to slow down, pay attention and be careful - especially at the intersection of U.S. 27 and Ky. 90 in Burnside.
