The city's transportation network includes I-74, U.S. 231, U.S. 136, State Road 32, and State Road 47. The U.S. 231/I-74 and SR 32/I-74 interchanges provide direct access to the interstate.

The BMV currently lists ABetterDriver.com among its approved online providers.
Every approved DSP is at least four hours. The four-point credit is available once every three years, and completion does not remove the underlying citation.
Montgomery County Traffic Deferral for a Crawfordsville Ticket
Montgomery County says traffic violators with limited or no history of violations may qualify for Traffic Deferral.
CDL holders are expressly excluded.
Traffic Deferral information: 765-364-6479
The current public County information does not publish enough detail to safely state a universal fee, duration, or required course.
ABetterDriver's online DSP is therefore separate from the deferral process.
Driving in Crawfordsville: I-74, U.S. 231, Downtown Streets, and Rail Traffic
Crawfordsville differs sharply from the county's small towns because multiple major routes converge around one city.
Drivers move among:
I-74
U.S. 231
U.S. 136
SR 32
SR 47
Downtown streets
Railroad crossings
Wabash College traffic
Industrial traffic
Bicycle and pedestrian routes
Market Street Railroad Crossing
One of Crawfordsville's strongest city-specific traffic issues is the Market Street/SR 32/SR 47/U.S. 136 railroad crossing.
In January 2025, the City announced $1.6 million in federal funding for planning and development of a railroad-crossing elimination project. The goal is ultimately to create grade-separated movement between vehicles, pedestrians, and CSX rail traffic.
The City's study found the crossing was blocked for more than 277 hours during the study period and carried an average of 16,492 vehicles per day, with approximately 9% large semi-trucks.
PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT, NOT CONSTRUCTION
The current federal award supports planning and project development.
The City specifically states that final design and construction would require future funding.
Do not describe a new overpass as completed or currently under construction.
Wabash Avenue as an Alternate Rail Route
The City notes that Wabash Avenue has an existing railroad overpass that allows traffic to avoid the blocked Market Street crossing, although surrounding roads can become congested when traffic diverts there.
This creates a genuinely local defensive-driving issue:
Drivers unfamiliar with Crawfordsville may suddenly reroute when a train blocks Market Street, increasing turning and lane-change activity on alternate streets.
Wabash College Pedestrian Traffic
Wabash College is located at:
410 W. Wabash Avenue Crawfordsville, IN 47933.
Your county foundation identifies 908 students for fall 2025.
The campus is close to downtown, creating pedestrian, student, visitor, athletic-event, and delivery traffic on surrounding streets.
The City has also completed enhanced pedestrian crossings on Wabash Avenue near Wabash College, using flashing-light treatments intended to improve pedestrian crossing visibility.
Sugar Creek Trail
Crawfordsville's Sugar Creek Trail is approximately 5.05 miles and links Crawfordsville High School, the Big Four Rail corridor, trailheads, and Sugar Creek.
The City specifically instructs trail users to stop, look, and listen at road intersections.
Drivers approaching trail crossings should therefore anticipate:
Cyclists
Runners
Walkers
Students
Families entering trailheads
Downtown Parking Tickets Are Separate From Moving Citations
Crawfordsville maintains a dedicated Parking Enforcement Department.
Parking violations can currently be paid at:
Crawfordsville Police Department 311 N. Green Street Crawfordsville, IN 47933
or through designated red payment boxes in City parking lots.
This is separate from a moving traffic citation filed in Montgomery Superior Court 2.
Do not confuse a downtown parking ticket with a BMV DSP requirement.
Crawfordsville Traffic and Parking Changes
The City maintains a formal process for requesting:
Stop signs
Speed-limit changes
One-way designations
No-parking zones
Loading zones
Warning signs
Street lighting
That means traffic control can change through local ordinance and Board of Works action. Current posted signs should always control.
