Special Considerations

Passenger vehicles are easily accommodated along this Byway. The well-surfaced, wide, and generally straight highway is easily used by any automobile. It serves as a primary route across the entire state. As such, it can accommodate tour buses and recreational vehicles with ease. Wide shoulders, the relatively straight road, and parking arrangements at some restaurants provide needed bus facilities.

Restrictions

As a primary east/west route through Indiana, the road experiences no seasonal accessibility limitations.
