Road Construction Speed Control Program Expanding

(Indianapolis, IN) - The Indiana Department of Transportation is expanding the use of its new speed control ticketing program at road construction sites.

According to INDOT, the next location beginning July 7 will be a four mile stretch of Interstate 65 near Lowell. Currently, the program monitoring the speeds of passing drivers is active at a work zone on I-465/I-69 in Indianapolis.

"Safety is the driving force behind this program," said Secretary of Transportation and Infrastructure Matt Ubelhor.

"We want everyone to go home to their loved ones at the end of the day."

Safe Zones was authorized by the Indiana General Assembly during the 2023 legislative session through House Enrolled Act 1015. By statute, the program may be active at up to four sites at any given time.

The program aims to protect the lives of motorists and road workers by slowing drivers down and reducing crashes in work zones.
