FWIW, the knowledge I have regarding downstate routes is limited to start points, stop points, and distances -- not weighty enough to be Wikipedia articles. ---Rob 16:23, 23 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Table of Illinois Routes

I'm going to start a table of routes that contains more useful information on the lists page... starting with 1-10 and seeing how it looks. Comment here about its usefulness. —Rob (talk) 02:43, 18 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] General guidelines for regions

These are guidelines, not rules!

• North: North of Interstate 80
• South: South of Interstate 64
• West: Western 1/3rd of state... roughly W of a N-S line through Peoria
• East: Eastern 1/3rd of state... roughly E of Illinois 47
• Central: Anything within Interstate 72, 74 and 155
• North central, etc: Use your own discretion, in accordance with above guidelines.

-- IDOT goes a bit different on regions:

• Northeast: Chicagoland region, or anything North of I-80 and East of I-39
• Downstate: Anything outside of Chicagoland

A lot of the politicans in the state (especially ones in Chicagoland) go on this belief as well.
