MONROE COUNTY – The Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) is scheduled to reduce the speed limit on State Road 46 on or after Tuesday, October 20, in Bloomington.
The speed limit will be reduced from 45 mph to 40 mph between just east of S.R. 446 and just east of Bender Road. The change is being made to enhance safety and improve overall traffic flow in the area.
INDOT reminds drivers to slow down, use extra caution, and avoid distractions when traveling in and near work zones. All work is weather-dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
Buckle Up Phone Down is a safety initiative adopted by the Indiana Department of Transportation in late 2023. Unrestrained motorists and passengers, as well as distracted driving, continue to be contributing factors in fatal and serious injury crashes on Indiana roadways. Buckle Up Phone Down is one of many efforts to change driver behavior and improve roadway safety across Indiana.
The actions are simple: when you get into a vehicle, buckle up. If you are the driver, put the phone down. Every trip. Every time. Learn more and accept the challenge at BUPDIN.com.
