Indiana highway work zone safety may get regulatory boost
An Indiana legislator is developing a measure intended to make highway construction zones safer for workers. News sources say State Rep. Jim Pressel (R-District 20) has announced plans to introduce a bill to ban cell phone use while driving unless the driver is using a hands-free device. The measure would also include automated enforcement – possibly in the form of cameras at work zones.
"If people know these exist and they could be cited for speeding in those zones, they’ll slow and pay attention," Pressel said.
