1. In Indiana, on interstate sections with three or more travel lanes in one direction, which lanes are trucks restricted to?
Why: On Indiana interstate sections with two lanes in one direction, trucks are restricted to the right lane; with three or more lanes in one direction, they're restricted to the right two lanes.
2. What is the maximum width and weight a vehicle can be operated at in Indiana without a special oversize/overweight permit?
Why: Without a special permit, an Indiana vehicle is capped at 8 feet 6 inches wide, 13 feet 6 inches tall, and 80,000 pounds -- exceeding any of those limits requires an oversize/overweight permit first.
3. If two large trucks are moving through a multi-lane Indiana roundabout at the same time, which one has to yield?
Why: Indiana's manual specifically addresses this case: if two large trucks are driving through a roundabout at the same time, the truck in the right lane must yield the right of way to the truck in the left lane.
4. What restrictions apply to operating an Indiana Motor Driven Cycle (MDC, 50cc or smaller)?
Why: An Indiana MDC operator must be at least 15, may not exceed 35 mph, may not carry a passenger, and -- if under 18 -- must wear a helmet and protective eyewear; an MDC also may not be ridden on an interstate highway or sidewalk.
