Current exclusions include school-zone speeding, 30+ mph speeding, a recent prior diversion, current CDL holders, work-zone violations, and school-bus violations.

Driving in Summitville: Between SR 9 and I-69
Summitville's official Town information describes the community as approximately one mile east of State Road 9 and five miles west of I-69.
That places Summitville between a state-highway corridor and the interstate while preserving a distinctly small-town local street network.
Drivers moving between those regional routes and Summitville should expect a significant change in road character and posted speeds.
Summitville's Street-Specific Speed Limits
Summitville's current published traffic schedules establish different maximum speeds for different local streets and street segments.
Current listed 20 mph areas include portions of:
Broadway Street
Delaware Street
East North Main Street
Howard Street
John Street
Mill Street
Seventh Street
Summit Street
The code also identifies numerous 30 mph streets and provides a 40 mph category for streets and urban districts not covered by the lower schedules.
This means a driver should not assume one speed applies throughout Summitville. Watch the posted signs as you move between streets.
The online code publisher cautions that its electronic code may not always reflect the newest legislation, so current signs and the Town's official copy should control.
Golf Carts and Recreational Off-Road Vehicles
Summitville's current traffic code contains a dedicated chapter for golf carts and recreational off-road vehicles.
The code defines qualifying vehicles and includes requirements involving lighting and financial responsibility.
The existence of this separate traffic chapter makes alternative vehicles a legitimate Summitville-specific driving issue rather than generic small-town copy.
Drivers should confirm the latest operating, inspection, street-access, and licensing rules before using one on public roads.
Summitville Police and Dispatch
For an officer to be dispatched, the Town directs non-emergency calls through Madison County Central Dispatch at 765-642-0221. The Town office is located at 109 S. Main Street, Summitville, Indiana, with a published number of 765-536-2802.
