A Chicago-style ramp meter.  This is an on-ramp to westbound I-290 (Eisenhower Expressway) from IL 43/Harlem Ave.  Photo by Brandon Gorte.

Southbound I-294 on the Tri-State Tollway, at the IL 58 exit.  Note the lack of exit numbers...this is normal on Illinois tollways.  Photo by Adam Froehlig, taken in 2000.
This is the western end of I-474, bypassing Peoria, IL.  The freeway continues northward as IL 6.  Photo by David Greenberger, taken July 5, 1999.
Southbound Lakeshore Drive/US 41, looking at the Chicago skyline.  Photo by Adam Froehlig, taken August 11, 2002.
Southbound US 51 at its junction with US 60/US 62, near the southern tip of Illinois.  Just ahead to the right is the US 60/62 bridge over the Mississippi River.  Just to the left is the US 51/60/62 bridge over the Ohio River.  Photo by Adam Froehlig, taken prior to 2003.
Northbound US 51 in Vandalia, with US 40/IL 185 turning left and the I-70 junction just ahead.  Note the overhead signal/trailblazer shield mast arm.  Photo by Adam Froehlig, taken July 24, 2002.
An old, blurry view of IL 3's southern terminus near Cairo.  Photo by Adam Froehlig, taken prior to 2003.

A Macon CR 32 shield, as seen from northbound IL 128 near Dalton City.  Photo by Adam Froehlig, taken July 24, 2002.
Rock Island "County Road A" shield, located just south of IL 92.  Strangely, Illinois highway maps as early as 1997 show this road as CR 11 instead.  Photo by Adam Froehlig, taken prior to 2002.
