Controlled Routes
IDOT is only responsible for issuing permits under its jurisdiction. To begin, you must first determine the area that you are interested in advertising in, and determine if the sign is placed along a controlled route.
- If you already know that the location is along a controlled route please proceed to the Application tab.
- If not please utilize the map below by selecting a district or calling a district contact.
