The state says this metering will control the frequency that cars are merging onto 465 during peak congestion hours.
INDIANAPOLIS — Drivers on the city's southeast and east sides will soon see changes meant to improve traffic flow and safety.PREVIOUS | Ramp metering traffic signals, variable speed limits coming to I-465
Signals are already in place at I-465 entrance ramps between I-65 and I-70 on the south and east sides. It could mean drivers will come to a full stop on certain on-ramps at busy times of the day, rather than accelerating on the ramp like they might be used to. "Some of the driving habits that we see in this area is unsafe merging as well as just speed in general, so this overall is to make this area safe," said Kyleigh Cramer with the Indiana Department of Transportation.
Starting next week, you'll see the traffic lights flashing yellow to get you prepared for the change.Variable speed limits are also planned in this area. Digital speed limit signs will be posted every half mile on both sides of I-465.
