Ashley requires special cross-county treatment.
The Town of Ashley's own current website states that:
The northern one-third of town is in Steuben County.
The southern two-thirds is in DeKalb County.
The centerline of State Road 4/State Street is the county line.
That makes Ashley one of the clearest cross-county municipality pages in this project.
Which Court Handles an Ashley Traffic Ticket?
Steuben County portion

Steuben Superior Court 305 S. Martha Street Angola, IN 46703.

Driving in Ashley: I-69 Exit 340 and SR 4
Ashley sits immediately west of I-69 Exit 340 at SR 4.
INDOT identifies the interchange as the Ashley, DeKalb/Steuben County interchange.
Ashley itself states that the east edge of town is just off I-69 at Exit 340.
Drivers therefore transition between:
Interstate traffic.
SR 4.
Local residential streets.
Railroad activity.
Cross-county municipal roads.
State Road 4 Is Also the County Line
This is Ashley's most important legal and transportation fact.
The town's official website states that the centerline of SR 4/State Street forms the Steuben-DeKalb county boundary.
A ticket issued north of the line and one issued south of the line can potentially belong to different county systems.
Ashley Local Government
Ashley is an active incorporated town with its own Town Council, Plan Commission, and municipal services.
Current Town Council members are listed on the official municipal site.
Current 2026 Municipal Construction
Ashley currently has construction at its sewer treatment facility.
The town states that beginning April 16, 2026, the municipal compost facility was closed until further notice because of construction at the sewer treatment facility.
This is current municipal infrastructure work, but it should not be presented as an SR 4 or I-69 road closure.
Parks and Local Pedestrian Traffic
Ashley maintains several parks, including a large Sunset Park with a walking trail and athletic facilities.
Drivers on town streets should therefore expect local recreational and pedestrian traffic, particularly near park entrances.
Current Golf-Cart or Detailed Traffic Rules
The Town of Ashley publishes code and zoning documents online, but current traffic-specific provisions were not sufficiently accessible in a reliable HTML format during this review.
This page should therefore not invent:
Golf-cart permit fees.
Local speed limits.
Truck routes.
Parking schedules.
Those details should be added only after the town code can be fully verified.
BMV Services
For the Steuben County portion, Angola is the primary county branch.
For the DeKalb County portion, Auburn is another practical full-service branch. Both are current Indiana BMV locations.
