Fort Wayne, Indiana Roadblocks

Across from the Fort Wayne, Jonathan Bower Memorial area, a road block was set up near American Family Insurance on Main Street. The only through streets are Harrison and the other side of Van Buren. It has been there for 4 weeks but is set to be taken down within the next few days. I will check back on this registry to see if any other developments have occurred.

Passed unstopped once through this particular roadblock (St. Joe Road near St. Joe Center Road) and then avoided it on return by turning off early. Stated purpose, according to Ft. Wayne Police and Allen County Sherriff’s departments in my phone followup, is for seatbelt usage. From observation, cars are pulled off singly to parking lot or similar detention area; when one leaves, whoever is next goes in while traffic otherwise proceeds.
