Thanks to a statewide network of around 350 cameras, the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) closely monitors roads around the clock for any sign of trouble, and dispatches the appropriate responders, whether that’s Indiana State Police, other emergency vehicles, INDOT personnel who patrol freeways to help motorists and keep traffic moving.
