INDIANA — The Indiana Department of Transportation announces the activation of its worksite speed control pilot program, known as Safe Zones, in Hancock County.
Starting on March 23, Safe Zones enforcement will resume in the I-70 construction zone between mile markers 104.9 and 109 in Hancock County near Greenfield.
The program is currently active and will continue in the Clear Path I-465/I-69 work zone on the northeast side of Indianapolis.
Once active, vehicles traveling 11 mph or more over the posted speed limit will receive a violation notice via mail. The first violation results in a zero-fine warning, followed by a $75 civil fine for second violations, and a $150 civil fine for third and subsequent violations.
The Safe Zone program aims to protect the lives of motorists and road workers by slowing drivers down and reducing crashes in work zones.
