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 page.
  • If not please contact the appropriate district office listed below.
