    10 thoughts on “Indiana bill to increase semi truck speed limits faces tough road ahead

      1. “everybody’s cool with it.” SMH

        Aylesworth is probably one of those elected officials that drives 90 on the interstate, knowing they won’t get pulled over with the special license plate they get.

      2. Also…”bifurcated” really only appears in the Bible. So, can tell these two R hillbillies are typical bible-thumpin’ hayseeds. Ugh. Rural Indiana. God help us.

    1. The problem is not trucks going too slow. I travel the interstates frequently and my observation is that most of them exceed the limit regularly, just as autos do. The problem in my opinion is that there are many drivers (both semis and autos) who get in the left lane and go at or below the speed limit which frequently backs up traffic unnecessarily and causes unsafe conditions. The left lane should be used for passing. Several states have posted this and changed laws that require drivers to stay right unless passing, and allow police to issue tickets to drivers who do not follow this practice and block the flow the flow of traffic. Common sense is not so common.

    2. The most aggravating situation is a semi “passing” another semi for a mile or more, in the left lane, and backing up passenger cars. I’d like to see law that prohibits semi’s from every passing another semi. Think of the fuel savings…

    3. Our two lane 65 was built for a different era. The trucks in the passing lane coupled with only two lanes creates significant public safety issues. The stretch from Lebanon to Chicago is a hot mess. Having a third lane eases the congestion. Drive on 65 in Kentucky and experience 3 lanes almost border to border. Why is Indiana is left behind on its share of federal HW dollars? What has our congressional delegation to assist (if anything)? Let’s focus on long neglected state infrastructure needs.

      1. The state has plans to make I-65 between the Indiana Toll Road and the Kentucky state line three lanes in each direction, and to make I-70 between the Illinois and Ohio states lines three lanes in each direction as well using funds from Biden’s infrastructure bill that passed Congress in 2021. By the way, all seven of Indiana’s Republican House members voted against the bill, as did your two Senators, Young and Braun (who wants to be your next governor).
