House Passes Bill to Increase Speed Limits

Motorists could drive faster on interstates and highways in Indiana under a proposal passed by the Indiana House. Speed limits on rural stretches of divided, four-lane highways would go up from 55 miles an hour to 60 miles an hour. The speed limit on the Indiana Toll Road would increase to 70. The bill now goes back to the Senate, to see if that chamber will agree with several changes the House made.
