Driving in North Manchester: SR 13, SR 114 and Manchester University
State Road 13 and State Road 114
North Manchester's current traffic code identifies Indiana Highways 13 and 114 as through streets, along with several other major town streets.
This makes the S.R. 13/S.R. 114 area a key transition between state-highway travel and the town's local street system.
Local Speed Limits Around College Avenue
North Manchester's current code establishes several street-specific limits, including:
20 mph on College Avenue from Wayne Street to East Street.
20 mph on East Street from College Avenue to Indiana Highway 13.
25 mph on Market Street from Seventh Street to College Avenue.
20 mph when children are present on Ninth Street between Market and Beckley Streets.
20 mph when children are present on River Road between S.R. 114/Main Street and Singer Road.
These are meaningful town-specific rules and should not be copied to the other Wabash County pages.
Manchester University Traffic
Manchester University's North Manchester campus is at:
604 E. College Avenue North Manchester, IN 46962.
The campus adds pedestrian, student, event, and move-in traffic around College Avenue and surrounding streets during the academic year.
Manchester Mile
Indiana's Stellar Pathways program includes a planned Manchester Mile multi-use path connecting Manchester University to downtown North Manchester along College Avenue and Market Street.
This should be described as a funded/planned improvement, not assumed to be fully completed in August 2026 without a current construction confirmation.
SR 114 Sidewalk Project
The same Stellar program includes sidewalks on the north side of S.R. 114 between Meridian Street/S.R. 13 and West Street.
OCRA specifically notes that pedestrians currently use grass or the road edge along parts of this busy commercial corridor because pedestrian infrastructure outside downtown is limited.
That is a legitimate local pedestrian-driving issue without labeling the corridor dangerous.
Golf Carts and UTVs in North Manchester
North Manchester permits qualifying golf carts and UTVs on town streets, but not along state or federal highways except to cross at approximately a 90-degree angle.
The current code requires local registration and inspection. Registration is valid for one year, and the published fee is $25 for a golf cart.
Heavy-Truck Parking
North Manchester prohibits certain larger trucks and trailers from being parked on public town streets except while loading or unloading.
This is a parking restriction, not a general prohibition against driving trucks through town.

North Manchester does not have a full BMV branch on the current branch list.
The Wabash BMV is:
403 S. Cass Street, Suite A Wabash, IN 46992 888-692-6841.
No BMV visit is required simply to complete ABetterDriver.com's online DSP.
