Signalized intersections will become interchanges. Heavy congestion in metro Indy's wealthiest suburb will be eased by plans to expand a 4-lane highway to a 6-lane interstate-quality freeway: "When 44,000 daily commuters are forced to go from 55 mph to a dead stop on U.S. 31, jostling from lane to lane, racing through long yellow lights -- it becomes a problem that can lead to frustration, road rage and lots of accidents."
