The speed limit in Carmel school zones is 25 mph. That's fine, except for the fact that the limit is in effect from 7AM-10PM EVERY DAY. (Yes, even Christmas). Even on the widest, safest roads, enforcement is common. Look out especially on E. 126th St. at Mohawk Trails Elementary School.

this is a great one. it is a red light that turns almost straight from green to red with no yellow. they have been pulling over hundreds of cars a week fo over 20 years. probably the worst place in the usa. also right after dark,a dozen or so, squad cars will pull over everything that moves even a few miles ove the speed limit. this goes on for about an hour.

Just as you pass through the southbound 431 choice of the 431/31 split entering Carmel, there is a large bank of trees just in the median. Carmel police officers (often more than one car) regularly hide behind the trees facing northbound to clock southbound traffic. Although I have never gotten a ticket here, I see at least one or two cars pulled over in this stretch every week.

Carmel police often set along I-465 at the Marion-Hamilton county line where their jurisdiction begins. This is just past 96th Street east-bound, and about a half mile west of Keystone, west-bound. I've seen more west-bound though. They will pull over any random car going more than the posted 55 mph speed limit, doesn't matter if the car is being passed by others or not. They patrol any time of day; I've even seen them out during rush hour when traffic is stop and go. Heavy enforcement does seem to be skewed towards the last week of the month though.
