Traffic flow through Carmel is substantial with four major north/south roadways running through the city; US-421 on the western edge of the city, US-31 divides the city down the middle, and Keystone Parkway further east. Hazel Dell Parkway on the far east side also carries a great deal of north/south traffic, relieving congestion on Keystone Parkway. Keystone Parkway, US-31 and US-421 all interchange with I-465, which runs along Carmel’s southern boundary.
