LaFontaine has enough current municipal traffic rules to support a genuinely local traffic-school page.
The Town's current ordinance library publishes separate rules addressing traffic control, regulated parking, golf carts, off-road vehicles, trailer and truck parking, and snow emergencies.
For an ordinary state traffic infraction, Wabash County's local rules assign the case to Wabash Superior Court.

Driving in LaFontaine: Local Parking and Vehicle Rules
Branson Street Parking
LaFontaine's 2021 parking ordinance prohibits parking any portion of a vehicle on a sidewalk.
It also limits weekday parking between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. to two hours on Branson Street from Main Street to Wabash Avenue. Violations are subject to the ordinance's published fine range.
This is a specific LaFontaine rule and should not appear on any neighboring town page.
Semi-Trucks, Trailers, RVs and Delivery Trucks
LaFontaine's official ordinance library still publishes a town rule prohibiting semi tractors, semi trailers, tractor-trailers, RV campers, box trucks, and delivery trucks from parking on public streets except while being loaded, unloaded, or used for delivery purposes.
Golf Carts and State Roads 15 and 218
LaFontaine's golf-cart ordinance defines permissible town streets as roads under Town responsibility and specifically excludes Indiana State Roads 15 and 218 from that definition.
Drivers should not assume that permission to operate a golf cart on qualifying town streets extends to those state highways.
Newer Off-Road Vehicle Rules
LaFontaine adopted a new off-road vehicle ordinance in February 2025.
The ordinance requires state registration before an ORV uses qualifying town highways and generally requires a valid driver's license for highway operation. It also sets lighting and braking requirements and restricts certain nighttime and unsafe operation.
The ordinance also permits highway crossings under specified conditions, including stopping and yielding before crossing.
These are ORV rules and should not automatically be treated as identical to the separate golf-cart ordinance.
Planned LaFontaine Infrastructure Improvements
Indiana's Stellar Pathways program includes stormwater upgrades in LaFontaine. The official project description identifies improvements involving Western Avenue, E. Grant Street, Meadow Drive, and two drainage basins.
These improvements are relevant to local street infrastructure, but they should be labeled as Stellar Pathways improvements rather than assumed to be active road closures.
The program also includes a future parking lot and walking trails at Cook-Crumley Park.
