North Salem is located at the intersection of State Road 75 and State Road 236, making those two highways particularly important to local drivers. The town's official website identifies the SR 75/SR 236 intersection as the center of the community's highway network. (Town of North Salem)
Where Do North Salem Traffic Tickets Go?
North Salem has a local traffic code, but current Indiana court records do not identify a separate North Salem town court among Hendricks County's current courts.
The town's current ordinance materials show that traffic ordinance citations can be handled through the Hendricks County court system. North Salem's ordinance specifically references the Clerk of Hendricks County Superior Court for traffic ordinance payments and court processing. (American Legal Publishing)
Because the precise filing court can vary, use the citation or Indiana MyCase to identify the court for your particular case.

Driving and Traffic Conditions Specific to North Salem
State Road 75 and State Road 236
North Salem's defining traffic feature is the intersection of SR 75 and SR 236. The town identifies itself as being at this intersection. (Town of North Salem)
SR 75 provides a north-south route through western Hendricks County, while SR 236 provides an east-west route toward communities including Danville and Roachdale. (Wikipedia)
Drivers approaching the intersection should watch for turning traffic, vehicles entering from local streets, and traffic transitioning between state highways.
SR 236 Bridge and Creek Crossings
INDOT project records identify SR 236 work near North Salem, including a bridge over the M Fork of Big Walnut Creek and a North Salem sidewalk agreement. (Indiana Government)
Regional bridge information also identifies the M Fork and E Fork of Big Walnut Creek along SR 236 in the North Salem area. (CloudFront)
These features illustrate why drivers should maintain awareness of roadway geometry and changing conditions on the state highway rather than treating SR 236 as an ordinary local street.
North Salem Sidewalks
The town issued a February 2026 reminder about the local ordinance requiring property owners to clear sidewalks of snow, ice, mud, windfalls, and other obstacles that could pose hazards to users. (Town of North Salem)
For drivers, this is relevant because pedestrian activity can occur around the town center and highway intersection. Drivers should scan for pedestrians when entering or leaving the central business area.
