As winter approaches, Illinoisans know that road conditions can change rapidly. Staying on top of those changing road conditions can make a huge difference for preparing for travel and getting important information. The Illinois Department of Transportation is reminding you to visit gettingaroundillinois.com for updated information on road conditions. 

Optimized for smartphones, “Getting Around Illinois” can be used on your computer and allows the user to identify and zoom into a location, travel route, or destination on a map. Plow drivers out in the field relay information on conditions and they are provided to the general public. 

Gettingaroundillinois.com gets more than 2.5 million page views during snow and ice season and uses color schemes to help determine road conditions including accessibility for those who may have issues seeing color. The IDOT asks you to consider if a trip is important before making it especially with COVID-19 still being out in the public. For more information visit gettingaroundillinois.com.
