Hotsheet 5.6: INDOT Safe Zones Speed Cameras Are Live I-465
INDOT Safe Zones speed cameras have officially activated its on May 1, especially near the Clear Path construction site at I-465 and I-69 on the northeast side. If you’ve been over there, then you already know traffic is hectic — now, it’s also under surveillance.
Here’s what you need to know so you don’t get caught slippin’:
- If you’re going 11 mph or more over the limit while workers are present, that camera is snatching your plate.
- First offense? You’ll get a warning letter in the mail.
- Second offense? Now you’re payin’ — $75 fine.
- Third strike? That’s a $150 ticket to your mailbox.
This is Indiana’s first time using automated speed enforcement in work zones — and trust, it’s not a drill. These cameras are locked in, crystal-clear, and catching more than just your license plate. They’re out here trying to save lives — because folks have been treating work zones like it’s the Brickyard 400.
Construction workers deserve to make it home safe, and honestly? So do you. Don’t let one reckless move cost you money or someone their life.
So do yourself a favor: slow it down when you see cones, signs, or vests. That “Safe Zone” isn’t just a cute name — it’s a reminder to drive with care.
Summer’s almost here, and I know you’d rather spend $150 on concert tickets, a cookout fit, or a vacation vibe — not handing it over to the state.

Have INDOT Safe Zones Cameras Been Tested?
Yes — and the results speak for themselves.
While Indiana’s Safe Zones program is still in the pilot phase, it’s not the first of its kind. Maryland saw an 80% drop in speed violations in construction zones thanks to similar enforcement. Pennsylvania saw a 19% decrease. Both of those states, along with Illinois, have made their programs permanent.
Here in Indiana, we’re just getting started — but it’s already making a difference. INDOT reports a 70% drop in excessive speeding during the first four months of the program. That’s a huge win for worker safety.
The full pilot will run for five years, and INDOT says it will release annual reports to track the program’s impact.
