Get ready, Lloyd Expressway drivers: Revamped intersections will open this week
After months of construction, revamped intersections on the Lloyd Expressway in Evansville are set to open this week. Weather permitting, the Lloyd's new interchanges with Stockwell Road will be unveiled to the public on Wednesday after the "morning peak travel period" ends, the Indiana Department of Transportation said in a news release Monday morning. Motorists heading east on the Lloyd and looking to turn north onto Stockwell will come upon a displaced left. They'll have to enter the left turn lanes right as they pass Vann Avenue and well before they reach the main intersection. "Pay attention to signs and pavement markings to avoid missing your opportunity to go north," the release states. Westbound Lloyd drivers wanting to head south on Stockwell, meanwhile, will navigate a boulevard left. They will actually go through the main intersection and then spill into a left turn lane that will eventually allow them to make a U-turn. That will send them back the opposite direction to then turn right onto Stockwell. According to the release, police officers will be on scene to "encourage traffic calming" − as in, make sure drivers navigate the designs smoothly. On Tuesday, crews will actually block traditional left turns onto northbound Stockwell to prep for the unveiling. And there will be additional closures as workers add new pavement striping between Stockwell and the Pigeon Creek Bridge. The Stockwell work is one small part of the yearslong, $100 million overhaul of the Lloyd Expressway that's meant to improve safety and travel times. And as one project ends, two more are set to begin. On Monday, crews planned to begin prep work for huge undertakings at two of the busiest intersections in Evansville: the Lloyd and Burkhart Road, and the Lloyd and Cross Pointe Boulevard. Both will receive displaced left turns in each direction. Drivers will start to see closures of interior lanes as workers remove concrete medians.

Latest Lloyd Expressway closure in Evansville could affect back-to-school traffic
EVANSVILLE – The newest road closure stemming from the overhaul of the Lloyd Expressway will briefly impact back-to-school traffic for a West Side school. According to a Sunday news release from the Indiana Department of Transportation, the intersection from the Lloyd onto northbound Boehne Camp Road will close for about 30 days starting on or around Monday, July 14. That could affect traffic to Perry Heights Middle School, which sits near the intersection of Boehne Camp and Hogue roads. Classes start on Aug. 4, right in the middle of the closure. "Access Boehne Camp from the north if you normally use the Lloyd," the release states. "The closure relates to minor intersection improvements at Boehne Camp – from added (or) lengthened turn lanes to new pavement markings, signage and traffic signal replacement." This likely won't be the only closure for the stretch. Work will continue "intermittently through 2026," the release says. The construction is part of the ongoing $100 million revamp of the Lloyd's entire expanse. Work on new alternative intersections recently wrapped up at Stockwell Road, and major construction will soon begin in earnest at the Lloyd's interchanges with Burkhardt Road and Cross Pointe Boulevard. The West Side all the way to the Posey County line remains under heavy construction as well. The entire project isn't expected to finish until 2028.

It's illegal to ride a horse faster than 10 mph. Here are 10 traffic laws for Indiana
Indiana highways and roadways stretch across miles of mostly flat land, with over 240 state roads and 13 interstate highways. Not all of these roadways are navigated under the same traffic laws. Generally speaking, Indiana Code applies statewide, but different cities have their own codes on the books. In South Bend, you're not allowed to put your head through the sunroof of a car while a vehicle is being driven. In Indianapolis, horses are considered vehicles on the road and are limited to a speed of 10 mph. Indiana has more than 97,000 miles of roadways, according to the Indiana Department of Transportation. Whether you are a native Hoosier or just traveling through the crossroads of America, here's a look at some of the state's traffic laws if you want to avoid a ticket. In Indianapolis, horses are considered vehicles and are subject to speed limits and the requirement of warning flags on public roads. The code states that no horse shall be driven or ridden on any street in the city at a speed more than 10 MPH, and every horse shall be kept under control at all times by the person in charge of it. Horse riders must follow all the same traffic laws that apply to regular motor vehicles. If you approach a disabled vehicle on the side of a road or highway with its flashers on, you must move over to another lane. This applies to drivers on all Indiana roads, including two-lane roads where there might not be room to move over. If that's the case, or if you can't safely switch lanes on a four-lane road, the law says you need to slow down by 10 mph below the speed limit to stay in compliance. The "Move Over" law was originally put in place to protect emergency vehicles that had pulled over on the side of the road. Drivers aren't allowed to stop, stand, or park on the shoulder of an interstate, unless it's an actual emergency. Drivers who fail to switch lanes when approaching a disabled vehicle on the side of the road that has its flashers on could receive a class B infraction. Drivers must provide identifying information like name, address, and date of birth, or their ID to law enforcement during a traffic stop if there is a valid reason for the stop by an officer. Refusing to provide your identity during a lawful stop can lead to a Class C misdemeanor, which carries up to 60 days in jail and a $500 fine. Indiana's hands-free law prohibits drivers from using any electronic device like a cellphone in their hands while operating a vehicle unless they're using it with a hands-free or voice-activated feature. Serious traffic crashes and deaths have risen sharply across the U.S., largely due to distracted driving. In 15 states with hands-free laws, traffic deaths dropped by an average of 16%, according to federal data. You can face a fine of up to $500, plus points on your driving record, if you're caught breaking this law. Indiana uses a point system for traffic violations, and accumulating 20 points within two years can lead to license suspension. Technically, there isn't a statewide law that specifically outlaws cutting through parking lots, but you could still run into trouble in a few ways. ⚠️ 1. Local OrdinancesMany towns or cities in Indiana include local traffic rules that apply to parking lots. In Greenville, Indiana, it is illegal to drive across parking lots, sidewalks, or curbs to bypass traffic backups at road intersections within the town limits unless you're driving a lawn tractor or being directed by police during emergencies. Violators can be fined $50 by the Greenville Marshal Department. 🚫 2. Trespassing or Private Property RulesParking lots are usually private property, so cutting through them, especially just to skip a red light or traffic, can get you in trouble. If the property owner decides to enforce their rules, you could end up facing trespassing charges or even a civil lawsuit.🚓 3. Moving Violation / Reckless DrivingIf taking a shortcut puts other drivers or pedestrians in danger, you could be hit with a 'reckless driving' ticket or another moving violation. 👮 4. Enforceable on Private PropertySome traffic laws, like DUI, reckless driving, or ignoring signs, can be enforced on private property if the lot is open to the public and properly signed per municipal agreement. Indiana law requires all drivers to carry liability insurance. The state mandates minimum liability coverage of $25,000 for bodily injury or death of one person, $50,000 for bodily injury or death of two or more people, and $25,000 for property damage in a single accident. Anybody under the age of 18 is required to wear a helmet and eye protection, but the state doesn't have any law that requires the life-saving accessories for adults. Operating While Intoxicated (OWI), also known as a DUI, is a serious offense defined by the state's legal limits for blood alcohol concentration (BAC). A BAC of 0.08% or higher for drivers 21 and over, 0.02% for those under 21, and 0.04% for commercial drivers can lead to an OWI charge. Penalties include fines, jail time, license suspension, and mandatory substance abuse programs. Drivers are required to stay out of the left lane except when passing or preparing to turn. Indiana Code states that drivers should move to the right lane when another vehicle is overtaking them from behind. You can pass another vehicle on the right, but only in certain situations: But there's an important catch: Even if those conditions are met, you can only pass on the right if it's safe. And you're not allowed to drive off the main part of the road, like onto the shoulder or grass, to make the pass.
