The City of Fishers is contemplating postponing the construction of a new roundabout at 116th and Allisonville Road due to a recent surge in accidents at another local roundabout. Officials attribute the increase in crashes at the 96th and Allisonville Road intersection to factors such as elevated traffic volumes, reckless driving, improper lane usage, and motorists neglecting to yield. The city intends to mitigate the situation by enhancing law enforcement patrols and adjusting signal timing.
