Bill Summary
Amends the Highway Advertising Control Act of 1971 and the Illinois Highway Code.

AI Summary
This bill amends the Highway Advertising Control Act of 1971 to allow the Illinois Department of Transportation (DOT) to post tourist-oriented directional signs in rural areas. Specifically, the bill permits the DOT to place these signs at intersections along rural non-freeway sections, with a key restriction that such signage is prohibited in urban areas with populations of 7,000 or more. Tourist-oriented directional signs are typically informational road signs that help travelers find local attractions, businesses, or points of interest that are not immediately visible from the main roadway. By enabling these signs in rural areas, the bill aims to help tourists more easily navigate and discover local destinations in less populated regions of Illinois, potentially supporting local tourism and economic development by improving wayfinding for travelers.
