Lower speed limit for semi trucks only now in effect in Indiana town

Just a few weeks after announcing plans to reduce the speed limit for trucks, officials in Chesterton, Indiana, in partnership with the Indiana Department of Transportation, have erected signs lowering the truck speed limit from 50 m.p.h. to 40 m.p.h. The lowered semi speed limit is in place on Ind. 49 between the I-94 interchange and the Indiana Toll Road and applies to any vehicle with a gross weight over 13 tons, according to the city.
