Driving in Roann: Chippewa Street and Local Vehicle Rules
Chippewa Street Speed Limit
Roann's 2020 speed ordinance specifically lowered the limit on Chippewa Street from S.R. 16 south to East Beamer Street from 30 mph to 25 mph.
The same ordinance authorizes the Town Marshal to issue a town ordinance citation for violations and establishes a published fine range of $50 to $200 for the ordinance.
This is a genuine Roann-specific traffic rule.
Chippewa Street Parking Rules
Roann's 2023 parking ordinance applies to Chippewa Street from Allen Street on the north to Adams Street on the south.
The ordinance prohibits conduct including:
Double parking.
Parking on sidewalks.
Parking within intersections.
Parking on crosswalks.
Parking contrary to posted restrictions.
Parking facing against the traffic flow.
Parking that leaves less than ten feet of roadway available for traffic.
Golf Carts and UTVs
Roann's current ordinance library includes its 2018 golf-cart and UTV ordinance.
The ordinance requires the operator to be over 16 and hold a valid driver's license. It also requires proof of financial responsibility.
Drivers should use Roann's own ordinance rather than importing North Manchester or LaFontaine rules.
Roann Park Project
Indiana OCRA's Stellar Pathways program identifies a future Roann Park on more than seven acres on the east side of town.
Planned elements include expanded parking, courts, a pavilion, playgrounds, splashpad, and other recreation facilities.
Wabash County planning records also show that the park's planned parking area required drainage work and a detention feature.
This is a planned development project, not a reason to claim current congestion.
