Indiana Bans Dynamic Speed Limits on I-465 | Indianapolis News

Indiana’s variable speed limit signs on I-465 are now covered up thanks to a new state law, House Enrolled Act 1200, which bans INDOT from using them. The move follows last year’s speed limit hike from 55 to 65 mph, with lawmakers arguing the variable signs undermined the law. Costing nearly $450,000 for 62 signs, critics say the money could’ve fixed potholes instead. Though the signs helped reduce hard braking and crashes, INDOT has no plans to recover the cost or remove the covered signs anytime soon. Senator Aaron Freeman, who championed the law, is now eyeing ramp metering for the next session—and pushing to redirect funds toward road maintenance, not “pet projects.” Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
