The closures are weather dependent. Actual dates and anticipated work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen activities occur.
Indiana Safe Zones Reminder
The INDOT Worksite speed control pilot program, known as Safe Zones, has been deployed in the current Clear Path I-465/I-69 construction zone on the northeast side of Indianapolis. The pre-enforcement period for safe zones began in January.
Here’s how Indiana Safe Zones works:
- Signs are posted as motorists enter and exit worksites notifying them that speed limits are being monitored by an automated system.
- The system will monitor the speed of vehicles using speed timing devices as they pass through work zones. When a vehicle is determined to be traveling 11 mph or more than the posted speed limit, the system will capture an image of the vehicle’s rear license plate. After data is validated, violations will be certified and issued to the owner of the vehicle by mail.
- After the pre-enforcement period ends, the first violation will result in a zero-fine warning, the second in a $75 civil fine, and every violation thereafter a fine of $150. In accordance with the statute, collected fines will go into the state’s General Fund.
- Workers must be present at the site at the time of the event for violations to be valid.
- No violations will be issued during the pre-enforcement period, but courtesy notices will be sent via email. The pre-enforcement period will last a minimum of 30 days.
