School Zone coming to US 31 near Whiteland Road

The Indiana Department of Transportation announced plans to implement a new school zone along U.S. 31 near Whiteland Road.

Beginning on or after Tuesday, residents may see four school zone flashing signals being installed along northbound U.S. 31, INDOT officials said.

Two more flashing signals will be installed along southbound U.S. 31. Crews will also place school zone advance warning signs south of Whiteland Road along northbound U.S. 31, according to INDOT.

The school zone speed limit will be 35 mph while school zone signals are flashing. Motorists should use extra caution in the area as drivers adjust to the new school zone, officials said.

INDOT encourages drivers to slow down and avoid distractions when traveling through school zones.
