WEST LAFAYETTE – The decision to raise the speed limit on Indiana’s interstate highways to 70 mph three years ago did not lead to more deaths or severe injuries from crashes, a Purdue University study found.\nState legislators heard worries that allowing speed limits on rural portions of interstates to rise from 65 mph would cause greater danger for motorists before the move was approved in 2005.\nFatalities on those highways, however, did not increase because drivers were already going faster than the posted speed limit and the differences in drivers’ speeds were lowered, said Fred Mannering, a civil engineering professor at Purdue who was the study’s co-author.\n“Most drivers are at 70 or 75,” he said. “When you have a driver at 55 and another at 80, you could see more accidents.”\nThe Purdue researchers used a series of mathematical equations to tally accident probabilities based on motor vehicle accident data from 2004 and 2006, the years before and after the speed limit increased.\nThe model took into account weather, type of vehicle and other variables.\nThe study found higher accident rates for some non-interstate highways where speeds were increased.\n“Interstate highways are designed for 70 miles-per-hour speeds,” Mannering said. “The interstate has the capacity to withstand those speeds.”\nIndiana State Police who patrol Interstate 65 in the Lafayette area have not seen an increase in fatalities since the speed limit was increased.\n“We are giving more tickets because we have increased the number of troopers at the post,” said state police Sgt. Kim Riley of the Lafayette post.\nSome regular drivers of I-65 also agreed with the study.\n“The amount of traffic, more cars on the road, leads to more accidents than the speed alone,” said Kevin Deboy, the owner of Deboy Trucking in Rossville.\nBob Combs, who has been commuting an hour from the Clinton County town of Mulberry to Indianapolis for 25 years, said he agreed with the decision to raise the speed limit.\n“If you run the interstate a lot, you’ll see people tend to be more alert and pay more attention when they are driving at these speeds,” Combs said. “Changing the speed was absolutely a good move.”

INDIANAPOLIS – Local fans wanting to attend the 2012 Super Bowl in Indianapolis may have a hard time finding tickets.\nLucas Oil Stadium will seat 73,000 for the NFL championship game, but the Colts will receive only 5 percent of that capacity for hosting the game. That means about 3,600 tickets for Colts employees, sponsors and fans.\nThat could change if the Colts make it to the big game that year. The two teams playing in the Super Bowl each receive about 17 percent of the tickets, while about 25 percent of the tickets go to the NFL.\nThose who have the opportunity to buy tickets will need lots of cash. Last year, tickets cost $700 and $900. They could approach $1,000 or more for the 2012 game.

EVANSVILLE – Indiana State Police say they won’t take any action against two protesters who are camped out in trees near where the Interstate 69 extension is to be built along the Gibson-Warrick County line.\nState police spokesman Sgt. Todd Ringle said the protesters were allowed to remain in the trees because they are not scheduled to be cut down for construction.\nA man and a woman on the ground were asked to leave the property May 19 but were not arrested.\nRingle said state police have been preparing for protesters since plans for the I-69 extension were finalized.\nThe highway is to run from Evansville to Indianapolis. The first section to be built is a 13-mile stretch from Evansville to Oakland City, Ind.
INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — The 2012 Super Bowl is coming to Indianapolis.\nNFL owners voted Tuesday in Atlanta to award the game to Indianapolis, picking the city over Houston and Arizona.\nIndianapolis narrowly lost out to Dallas last year in its bid for the 2011 game.\nThe city's bid emphasized the new $700 million retractable-roof Lucas Oil Stadium and its experience hosting major sporting events such as the Indianapolis 500.\n"As a Colts fan, I'm thrilled," Governor Mitch Daniels said. "As a citizen of Indiana, I'm proud. This cements our state's reputation as a sports and big events capital"

MONTICELLO, Ind. – Many residents are still trying to get their lives back in order three months after winter floodwaters inundated homes across a large swath of Northern Indiana.\nThe flooding that began Jan. 7 damaged more than 800 homes and caused more than $33 million in damage stretching from Lafayette to South Bend to Fort Wayne. Federal disaster aid was eventually approved for 21 counties in that region.\n“People don’t realize it, but there are a lot of folks with a lot of needs out there,” said Alan Welch, director of Disaster Assistance for Northwest Indiana, a long-term recovery agency formed in response to the January and February floods.\nStarting Monday, teams from the Christian Reformed World Relief Committee Disaster Response program, often called “green shirts” because of their attire, will go door to door in flood-damaged areas.
