Description
The State Road 37 corridor in Hamilton County is bustling during the daytime.
INDOT said it sees an average of 30,000-35,000 vehicles a day on the highway. Drivers in Noblesville have developed their own ways of dealing with it.
"We learned to gauge when we drive on 37. Not during rush hour. We avoid that morning and evening time, just because we can get around so much easier, but there's always a lot of traffic," Mel Carpenter said.
According to INDOT, SR 37 has a higher crash frequency than similar corridors throughout the state. In fact, there were nearly 400 crashes in the area between 2016 and 2019.
