INDIANAPOLIS — Motorists traveling on I-465 on the southeast side of Indianapolis will see variable speed limits (VSLs) in place. Speed limits will adjust based on real-time conditions like traffic, roadway incidents, work zones, and weather conditions.
Speed limits will be dropped or increased in increments of 5 miles per hour, as conditions warrant, to improve safety and traffic flow. Variable speed limits help manage traffic congestion with fewer stop-and-go situations and a more consistent flow of traffic, reducing travel time for all drivers.
The VSL signs are already in place, with digital signage posted every half mile on both sides of I-465. The standard 55 miles per hour (mph) speed limit is currently posted and limits may be reduced to as low as 35 mph, if conditions warrant.
Law enforcement officers will be enforcing the posted speed limit. It’s important for drivers to stay alert and responsive to changing road conditions and posted speed limits.
