Commissioners approve lower speed limit on County Road 500 North after traffic review
Summary
The board approved Ordinance 2025-06 to lower the speed limit on County Road 500 North from 40 to 35 mph between State Road 39 and County Road 150 West based on traffic data and an Indiana LTAP recommendation.
Boone County commissioners approved Ordinance 2025-06 on July 21 to lower the posted speed limit on County Road 500 North from 40 mph to 35 mph between State Road 39 and County Road 150 West.
County highway staff said traffic data and a review by the Indiana Local Technical Assistance Program (LTAP) recommended 35 mph for the segment. The ordinance is a second-reading item; the board opened and closed a public hearing during the meeting before adopting the change so the new limit may be enforced.
A highway department representative said the change is intended to provide an enforceable posted speed that matches the safety and traffic conditions documented in the submitted study. Commissioners approved the ordinance by voice vote after the hearing was closed.
