Chair distributes IDOT sign definitions to standardize local sign decisions
Summary
The Chair provided an informational handout summarizing Illinois Department of Transportation sign definitions (wayfinding, directional and top signs) to clarify earlier confusion; members agreed to use the sheet as a reference for future sign requests and to follow IDOT regulations.
The Chair said the handout was intended to clarify earlier confusing discussion about road signs and to provide definitions for different sign types (top sign, directional sign, wayfinding sign). "That's just an informational sheet that we can refer to," the Chair said, noting the document was drawn from meeting notes and IDOT guidance.
Committee members agreed the sheet would be useful when deciding future sign placements and that application of IDOT rules will guide which signs are appropriate at specific locations; no final sign orders were placed at the meeting.
