Maximum speeds greater or less than what is reasonably safe;
declaration of new limit; variable limits based on time of day, types
of vehicles, weather, and other factors
Sec. 12. (a) Whenever the Indiana department of transportation
determines on the basis of an engineering and traffic investigation
that a maximum speed set forth in this chapter is greater or less than
is reasonable or safe under the conditions found to exist at an
intersection or other place or on part of the state highway system, the
Indiana department of transportation may determine and declare a
reasonable and safe maximum limit at the intersection or on the part
of the state highway system. The differing limit is effective when
appropriate signs giving notice of the limit are erected.
(b) A maximum speed limit under this section may be declared to
be effective at all times or at times indicated on the signs. Differing
limits may be established for different times of day, different types
of vehicles, varying weather conditions, and other factors bearing on
safe speeds. The differing limits are effective when posted on
appropriate fixed or variable signs.
