INDOT Unveils "Hoosier Hoops Highway" for NCAA Tournament

INDIANA - The Indiana Department of Transportation this week began unveiling its "Hoosier Hoops Highway" signs in advance of a busy basketball month in Indiana, with the Big Ten, Horizon League and NCAA tournaments being hosted in the Hoosier State. Games will be played throughout Indiana in basketball arenas in Indianapolis, Evansville, West Lafayette and Bloomington.  INDOT is placing temporary signs on highways leading to host cities to commemorate the historic month and help guide fans and teams.

Signs will be visible along major routes serving tournaments, such as I-65, I-70, I-465 and I-69 during the month of March. Follow INDOT on Facebook and Twitter for traffic and road construction updates as you travel to tournament games.

About the Indiana Hands-Free Law
In 2019, Indiana Criminal Justice Institute reported that distracted driving from mobile devices was a factor in at least 1,263 crashes and three fatal crashes. To make Hoosier roads safer, Governor Eric J. Holcomb signed the Indiana Hands-Free law to reduce distracted driving across the state. Beginning July 1, 2020, drivers are prohibited from holding a mobile device, except in emergencies, while their vehicles are moving. For more information on the new law visit www.HandsFreeIndiana.com. Hands-Free Indiana is a partnership between the Indiana Department of Transportation, Indiana State Police, Indiana Criminal Justice Institute, Indiana Bureau of Motor Vehicles, Indiana Constructors Inc., Indiana Motor Truck Association and ACEC Indiana.
