Reverse INDOT's Decision to Reduce the Speed Limit on I46 Highway


Reverse INDOT's Decision to Reduce the Speed Limit on I46 Highway
The Issue
The decision by the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) to reduce the speed limit on the I46 highway from 45 mph to 35 mph has raised significant concerns among motorists. Contrary to the aim for increased safety, this drastic change may further exacerbate traffic problems, leading to increased incidences of road rage and congestion. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has reported that lower speed limits can sometimes lead to increased variance in vehicle speeds, contributing to more accidents. Therefore, we respectfully urge INDOT to reconsider this decision. Understanding the need for safety on our roads, we propose that a comprehensive, independent study be conducted to determine the most effective and safe speed limit for this highway. Please sign this petition to protect our right for a safe and efficient commute.
