Speed enforcement program to begin on I-74 in Decatur, Shelby counties

(GREENSBURG, Ind.) – A speed enforcement program will be implemented on I–74 in Decatur and Shelby counties beginning on April 1. 

The Indiana Department of Transportation will activate the ‘Safe Zones’ program between mile markers 113 and 134. 

The system documents vehicle speeds using truck-mounted speed timing devices as they pass through work zones. 

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 Zones program is currently being operated on I-465 on the northeast side of Indianapolis, on I-70 in Hancock County and on I-65 in Jasper County.
