• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Title 9: MOTOR VEHICLES
• Art. 21: TRAFFIC REGULATION
• Ch. 5: Speed Limits

Text

(a) Whenever the Indiana department of
transportation within the department's jurisdiction or a local authority
within the authority's jurisdiction determines, based on an engineering
and traffic investigation, that slow speeds on a part of a highway
consistently impede the normal and reasonable movement of traffic, the
Indiana department of transportation or local authority may determine
and declare a minimum speed limit below which a person may not
drive a vehicle except when necessary for safe operation or in
compliance with law. A limit determined under this subsection and
declared by appropriate resolution, regulation, or ordinance becomes
effective when appropriate sign or signals giving notice of the limit of
speed are erected along the affected part of a highway.
(b) A person who fails to maintain a minimum speed limit
established under this section commits a Class C infraction.
