ARGOS – The Indiana Department of Transportation is implementing temporary safety measures at the intersection of U.S. 31 and State Road 10 outside of Argos. These crossroads have been the site of multiple vehicle crashes, many deadly.
The temporary measures include lowering the speed limit from 60 to 50 miles per hour, installing rumble strips in driving lanes, and adding paving markings to the median.
The changes come after recent public pressure and advocacy from local leaders, including Argos Council President Ed Barcus.
Indiana State Police have increased enforcement efforts at the intersection. Sgt. Ted Bohner said troopers have been working in the area for years, but are now paying extra attention.
This past Saturday alone, troopers issued 16 tickets and 37 warnings in the area.
INDOT has been working on a permanent solution for more than a decade.
