INDOT to introduce ramp metering on I-465 by the end of the year

I-465 will soon have stop lights on some of the on-ramps to control how many cars enter the highway during peak hours.

This is called ramp metering. The lights are controlled by sensors in the pavement on I-465 and the on-ramps, and these determine when there is a gap in traffic before allowing a car to merge. When the light is green only one car is allowed to enter the highway.
...
According to INDOT, the following locations will have ramp metering on the southeast portion of I-465:

• Emerson Ave.
• Southeastern Ave.
• Shadeland Ave.
• Brookville Rd./U.S. 52
• Washington St./U.S. 40
