Illinois Highway Code
The Illinois Highway Code in the Illinois Compiled Statutes states that all state highways are to be numbered, and that no state highway shall go unnumbered. In addition, roads in the system include state highways that connect
| “ | any State park, State forest, State wildlife or fish refuge, the grounds of any State institution or any recreational, scenic or historic place owned or operated by the State; any national cemetery; and to any tax supported airport constructed in part by State and federal funds | ” |
Descriptions of each individual state highway are filed with the county clerk of the county in which the state highway resides. State highways may be maintained by either the municipalities if within a municipality, or the Illinois Department of Transportation. Should a highway run through a municipality, IDOT is authorized to choose a route through the municipality in order to make a route contiguous for through traffic.
