Top tips for driving in Gary

A few things to know before you start driving in Gary and Northwest Indiana.

Road rules

Indiana requires all passengers to wear seatbelts, and drivers must use hands-free devices for calls. Speed limits vary — typically 25–30 mph in town and up to 70 mph on interstates. Keep headlights on in rain or low visibility.

Parking

Downtown Gary has metered street parking and public lots. Check signs for restrictions and time limits. Near attractions like Indiana Dunes, parking is available at designated lots — arrive early on busy weekends.

Toll roads

The Indiana Toll Road (I-90) runs just north of Gary. If you're heading to Chicago or eastern Indiana, you may use this route.

Gas and EV chargers

Gas stations are easy to find along major roads and near highway exits. If you're renting an electric vehicle, charging stations are available in the region — check your route and plan stops as needed.

Do you need a car in Gary?

Yes. Public transit is limited in Gary and Northwest Indiana. A car unlocks Indiana Dunes, the Lake Michigan shoreline, and surrounding towns that are tough to reach otherwise.

Car types

A compact or sedan works well for city driving and parking. If you're heading to the Dunes or traveling with gear and passengers, an SUV gives you extra space and comfort for the drive.

Cost

Prices vary by vehicle type and trip length. Booking ahead often helps you find better options, and longer trips — weekly or monthly — can unlock savings compared to daily rates.

Frequently asked questions in Gary, IN
