Drivers in Huntington, Roanoke, Warren, Andrews, Markle, Mount Etna, and throughout Huntington County can complete an Indiana BMV-approved Driver Safety Program online through ABetterDriver.com.
Huntington County had an estimated 2025 population of 37,224, up about 1.5% from 2020. Huntington is the county seat and largest city, with an estimated 17,167 residents. Roanoke had approximately 1,811 residents, Warren 1,209, and Andrews 1,062.
The county's driving environment combines the U.S. 24 corridor around Huntington, I-69 in the eastern part of the county, U.S. 224, several state highways, rural roads, small towns, university traffic, and recreation travel around Salamonie Lake. INDOT identifies multiple I-69 interchanges within Huntington County and two grade-separated U.S. 24 interchanges in the Huntington area.
Take Your Indiana Driver Safety Program Online
Indiana permits BMV-approved Driver Safety Programs to be completed online, in a classroom, or by DVD.
Every approved Indiana DSP:
Must meet BMV curriculum standards
Must last at least four hours
May be completed online
Has a current maximum price of $55
The Indiana BMV specifically lists ABetterDriver.com as an approved online and DVD Driver Safety Program provider.
Huntington County drivers can therefore complete the approved course online without attending a classroom course in Huntington.
Who Takes an Indiana Driver Safety Program?
Indiana drivers take Driver Safety Programs for several different reasons. A BMV requirement, voluntary point credit, court order, and Huntington County Infraction Deferral are separate processes.
BMV-Required Driver Safety Program
A driver convicted of two or more traffic offenses within a 12-month period may be required by the Indiana BMV to complete an approved Driver Safety Program.
Drivers under age 21 are required to complete a DSP after two or more qualifying traffic-offense convictions. After the BMV sends notice, the driver generally has 90 days to complete the requirement or driving privileges will be suspended.
This is a statewide BMV requirement. It does not depend on whether the underlying cases originated in Huntington County.
Voluntary Indiana 4-Point Credit
Any Indiana driver may voluntarily complete a BMV-approved DSP.
After successful completion, the BMV applies a 4-point credit to the driver's Indiana Official Driver Record. The credit is generally available once every three years.
If another approved course is completed while the credit remains active, the BMV extends the credit period for three years from the newer completion date rather than applying an additional simultaneous 4-point credit.
Court-Ordered or Court-Referred Drivers
A Huntington County court may separately order a driver to complete a driving program.
The Indiana BMV expressly cautions that a court order requiring a DSP does not necessarily mean that the judge requires a BMV-approved DSP. Drivers should follow the actual language of the court order before selecting a course.
Huntington County Infraction Deferral
The Huntington County Prosecuting Attorney's Office also operates an official Traffic Infraction Deferral Program for eligible citations.
The county publishes separate six-month and 12-month programs based on the type and seriousness of the traffic violation.
This program should not be confused with the BMV's voluntary 4-point credit.
How Long Is the Indiana Driver Safety Program?
Every Indiana BMV-approved Driver Safety Program must be at least four hours.
The BMV advises drivers to allow approximately 7 to 10 business days for completion results to be processed. For the voluntary 4-point credit, the BMV states that credit is generally applied within 7 to 14 business days after the BMV receives notification of completion from the provider.
Drivers facing a BMV deadline should not wait until the final day to complete the course.
How the Indiana 4-Point Credit Works
Points from Indiana moving-violation convictions generally remain active on the driving record for two years from the conviction date.
Completing a BMV-approved DSP can result in a 4-point credit, but it does not erase the underlying traffic citation or conviction. The BMV specifically states that DSP completion does not remove a citation from the driver's history.
The distinction is important:
BMV-required DSP: imposed because of the driver's statewide record
Voluntary 4-point credit: affects active points on the Indiana driver record
Court-ordered driving program: imposed by a judge in an individual case
Huntington County Infraction Deferral: a prosecutor program governing an eligible pending traffic infraction
These programs are not automatically interchangeable.
Driving in Huntington County: U.S. 24, I-69, and Rural Roads
Huntington County covers approximately 382.7 square miles and has about 97 residents per square mile. Nearly half of the county's population is concentrated in the City of Huntington, while the remainder is distributed among smaller towns and rural areas.
That creates frequent transitions between:
Limited-access highways
Higher-speed U.S. and state routes
Huntington city streets
Small-town roads
Agricultural and rural county roads
Recreation destinations
University-related traffic
This mix is particularly visible around U.S. 24 and I-69.
Huntington County's Primary Driving Issue: High-Speed Highway and Rural-Road Transitions
The combination of U.S. 24 and I-69 is one of Huntington County's most distinctive transportation features.
INDOT identifies two U.S. 24 interchanges in Huntington County:
U.S. 24 at SR 9/Misher Road
U.S. 24 at Meridian Road
Both are identified with Huntington.
I-69 runs through the eastern part of the county and has several Huntington County interchanges:
Exit 273 at SR 5/SR 218, identified with Warren
Exit 278 at SR 5, identified with Huntington
Exit 286 at U.S. 224, identified with Huntington
INDOT also identifies a Huntington County weigh-station location at mile 280.
For local drivers, the important safety issue is the transition between controlled-access, high-speed travel and smaller roads serving farms, towns, residences, and local businesses.
A driver leaving I-69 or U.S. 24 may quickly move from freeway-style driving to intersections, driveways, slower vehicles, and two-lane roads. Speed, following distance, and attention to intersection traffic should adjust accordingly.
Current 2026 Road and Bridge Work in Huntington County
Huntington County has several current or programmed transportation projects that affect local road infrastructure.
SR 124 Bridge Over I-69
INDOT awarded a bridge-deck-overlay project on SR 124 over I-69, approximately 1.72 miles east of SR 5.
The highway-contractor notice lists a September 30, 2026 completion date.
Drivers using SR 124 near I-69 should follow current work-zone signs and verify real-time INDOT conditions because lane configurations can change during bridge work.
Countywide Sign Replacement
INDOT's current Local Public Agency project listings include construction inspection for a countywide sign-replacement project in Huntington County, Design No. 2401583. The construction-inspection solicitation had a July 31, 2026 response deadline.
Sign-replacement projects are particularly relevant in a county with substantial rural mileage because warning signs, regulatory signs, and intersection identification become important when roads lack urban lighting and frequent signals.
Huntington County Bridge 89
INDOT's 2026 local-project procurement records also identify the planned replacement of Huntington County Bridge No. 89, located on County Road 1100 North approximately 0.8 mile west of SR 9.
A bridge restriction or closure on a rural road can require a substantially longer alternate route than a similar closure in an urban street grid.
Major Roads and Highways in Huntington County
U.S. 24
U.S. 24 is one of the county's most important regional corridors.
INDOT identifies Huntington County interchanges at SR 9/Misher Road and Meridian Road. The next U.S. 24/I-69 interchange to the east is in Allen County, so drivers should not assume U.S. 24 and I-69 intersect inside Huntington County itself.
Around Huntington, U.S. 24 serves both regional traffic and local access through its interchange connections.
Interstate 69
I-69 forms a major north-south transportation corridor through eastern Huntington County.
The county's exits serve Warren, Huntington, U.S. 224, and surrounding rural areas.
Drivers entering I-69 should accelerate appropriately before merging, while drivers leaving the interstate should adjust quickly to lower-speed state highways and local roads.
U.S. 224
U.S. 224 crosses northern Huntington County and connects directly with I-69.
INDOT identifies the I-69/U.S. 224 interchange in Huntington County.
The interchange is also relevant to Markle, which lies across the Huntington-Wells county line.
State Road 5
SR 5 is particularly important around Warren and the eastern part of Huntington County.
INDOT identifies I-69 interchanges at both SR 5/SR 218 near Warren and SR 5 farther north in Huntington County.
State Road 9
SR 9 is one of Huntington County's important north-south connections and intersects U.S. 24 at a grade-separated interchange with Misher Road.
The planned Bridge No. 89 project on CR 1100 North is also located approximately 0.8 mile west of SR 9.
State Roads 124 and 218
SR 124 provides an east-west connection and crosses I-69 within Huntington County. The current bridge-deck-overlay project at that crossing is scheduled through September 2026.
SR 218 serves the Warren area and connects with I-69 at the SR 5/SR 218 interchange.
Rural and Agricultural Driving in Huntington County
Huntington County's population density falls below 100 residents per square mile, and much of the land outside Huntington and the incorporated towns is rural.
Drivers on these roads should anticipate:
Agricultural equipment
Vehicles turning into farms and rural driveways
Fewer controlled intersections
Limited passing opportunities
Narrower local roads
County bridges and drainage structures
Wildlife in undeveloped areas
Agricultural vehicles may be moving legally at speeds far below surrounding traffic. Allow enough following distance to see around the vehicle and pass only when roadway markings, sight distance, and Indiana law allow it.
Recreation Traffic Around Salamonie Lake
Salamonie Lake creates a distinctive recreation component in southern Huntington County.
Indiana DNR identifies Salamonie Reservoir facilities and access areas associated with Andrews and Mount Etna, including Lost Bridge and Mount Etna recreation areas. DNR manages extensive land around the reservoir for recreation and wildlife.
Recreation traffic can include:
Campers
Vehicles towing boats
Fishing and hunting traffic
Visitors unfamiliar with rural roads
Vehicles carrying outdoor equipment
Drivers near reservoir access areas should expect slower turning vehicles and allow additional space behind trailers.
Because Salamonie Lake and its recreation areas extend across a broader regional area, the precise location of a traffic violation still determines which county and court have jurisdiction.
Huntington University Traffic
Huntington University adds another locally specific traffic pattern within the City of Huntington.
The university's main campus is located at 2303 College Avenue in Huntington.
Campus traffic can increase around:
Student move-in and move-out
The beginning and end of academic terms
Athletic events
Performances
Admissions visits
Homecoming and other university events
Drivers near the campus should be attentive to pedestrian activity and vehicles unfamiliar with surrounding streets.
Roanoke Pedestrian and Intersection Improvements
Roanoke has its own transportation projects that distinguish it from the rest of Huntington County.
INDOT's local-project records identify:
A townwide sign-replacement project
Intersection and pedestrian improvements at Main Street and Vine Street
Intersection and pedestrian improvements at Main Street and Second Street
These projects provide a genuine local traffic-safety angle for Roanoke rather than requiring a future city page to repeat generic county information.
Driving in Huntington
Huntington is the county seat and largest municipality, with an estimated 2025 population of 17,167.
It is also the county's main traffic and government center.
Huntington contains:
Huntington Superior Court
Huntington Circuit Court
Huntington County Clerk
Huntington County Prosecutor
Huntington BMV Branch
U.S. 24
SR 9
Huntington University
Connections toward I-69
The county's largest concentration of residents and services
The combination of population, U.S. 24 access, courts, BMV services, and the university makes Huntington the clear priority for a dedicated city traffic-school page.
Driving in Roanoke
Roanoke had an estimated 2025 population of 1,811, making it the county's second-largest incorporated municipality after Huntington.
The town also has independent transportation content because INDOT's local-project program identifies pedestrian and intersection improvements at Main/Vine and Main/Second, along with sign replacement throughout town.
That gives Roanoke enough genuine local value to consider a separate page rather than treating it as merely another county town.
Driving in Warren
Warren had an estimated 2025 population of 1,209.
Its strongest transportation distinction is its access to I-69.
INDOT identifies Exit 273 at SR 5/SR 218 with Warren in Huntington County.
Drivers moving between Warren and I-69 transition quickly between interstate traffic and smaller state and local roads, which provides a useful local angle for future content.
Driving in Andrews
Andrews had an estimated 2025 population of 1,062.
Its local driving environment is particularly connected with the Salamonie recreation area. Indiana DNR's Salamonie property information uses an Andrews address for its property office and identifies reservoir recreation facilities in the area.
That means Andrews can experience a mix of ordinary local traffic and seasonal outdoor-recreation travel.
Markle: A Cross-County Town
Markle requires special treatment because the incorporated town crosses the Huntington-Wells county line.
STATS Indiana estimates the full 2025 town population at approximately 1,086. Of that total, approximately 582 residents are in Huntington County and 504 are in Wells County.
Markle also has significant highway relevance because the I-69/U.S. 224 interchange is in Huntington County.
A traffic citation received somewhere in Markle should therefore not automatically be assumed to be a Huntington County case. The actual location of the violation and court assignment control.
Mount Etna
Mount Etna is Huntington County's smallest incorporated town, with an estimated 2025 population of 114.
Its population is too small to justify a standalone traffic-school page simply for SEO coverage. However, the nearby Salamonie recreation system gives the community some legitimate local transportation context.
Courts Handling Traffic Tickets in Huntington County
Huntington County's current local court rules provide a specific assignment for ordinary traffic infractions.
The rules state that all infraction and ordinance-violation cases that are not associated with a felony charge required to be filed in Huntington Circuit Court are assigned to Huntington Superior Court. The county's criminal allocation rules also assign Title 9 traffic offenses to Superior Court, subject to stated exceptions for more serious cases.
This is more accurate than simply listing both county courts as though they routinely handle the same traffic caseload.
Huntington Superior Court
Huntington Superior Court201 N. Jefferson Street, Suite 302Huntington, IN 46750Phone: 260-358-4852
The current Indiana Judicial Branch directory identifies Judge Jennifer E. Newton and confirms the Superior Court's current address and phone number.
For an ordinary state-law traffic infraction filed in Huntington County, Superior Court is the principal county court under the current caseload rules.
What About Huntington Circuit Court?
Huntington Circuit Court is also located in the Huntington County Courthouse, but ordinary infractions are assigned to Superior Court unless the case falls within the local-rule exception for matters associated with a felony charge that must be filed in Circuit Court.
Drivers facing a criminal driving charge should therefore rely on the actual cause number and court assignment rather than ordinary traffic-ticket information.

Huntington County Traffic Infraction Deferral Program
The Huntington County Prosecuting Attorney's Office currently publishes detailed criteria for its Traffic Infraction Deferral Program.
General Eligibility Requirements
The current published criteria require that the driver:
Have no moving-violation conviction during the previous 12 months
Have no misdemeanor driving conviction during the previous five years
Have not participated in a pretrial diversion or deferral program in any county during the previous 12 months
Have no more than four current points on the operator's license
Not hold a Commercial Driver's License, even if a commercial vehicle was not involved in the citation
These rules are specific to Huntington County and should not be assumed to apply to another prosecutor's program.
Six-Month Deferral Program
The current six-month program lists the following eligible categories:
Speeding 1 to 15 mph over
Any other qualifying 2-point violation
The current program fee is $192.50, payable upon entry.
Twelve-Month Deferral Program
The current 12-month program lists:
Speeding 16 to 25 mph over
Any other qualifying 4-point violation
The current fee is $252.50, payable upon entry.
How Do I Apply?
The Prosecutor's current page provides an online application form. After submission, a representative of the Prosecuting Attorney's Office contacts the driver.
Questions may be directed to the current Infraction Deferral Coordinator at:
Huntington County Prosecuting Attorney – Infraction Deferral201 N. Jefferson Street, Room 417Huntington, IN 46750Phone: 260-358-4846
Does Huntington County Deferral Require Traffic School?
The current official deferral page does not state that every participant must complete ABetterDriver.com or another Indiana BMV-approved Driver Safety Program.
Do not enroll in ABetterDriver solely because you expect it to satisfy Huntington County's deferral program unless the Prosecutor or court specifically tells you to take that course.
The BMV Driver Safety Program and Huntington County Traffic Infraction Deferral Program serve different purposes.
Can I Take Traffic School for a Huntington County Traffic Ticket?
You can appropriately take a BMV-approved Driver Safety Program if:
The Indiana BMV requires a DSP
You voluntarily want the Indiana 4-point credit
A court specifically requires a BMV-approved DSP
But completing the course alone does not automatically dismiss a Huntington County traffic ticket. The Indiana BMV specifically states that DSP completion does not remove the citation from the driver's history.
If you are considering Huntington County Infraction Deferral, review the Prosecutor's separate eligibility rules before making assumptions about the ticket or course requirements.
BMV Branch Information
Huntington County currently has an Indiana BMV branch in the City of Huntington.
Huntington BMV Branch
Huntington BMV Branch + Kiosk240 South Jefferson StreetHuntington, IN 46750-8901Phone: 888-692-6841
The Indiana BMV's current branch information identifies this location as both a BMV branch and BMV Connect kiosk.
Drivers should verify current operating hours before making an in-person visit because branch schedules can change.
You do not need to visit the Huntington BMV branch simply to complete an approved online Driver Safety Program.
