Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide.

Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

(605 ILCS 5/4-210) (from Ch. 121, par. 4-210)

Sec. 4-210.

Except where the right of access has been limited by or
pursuant to law every owner or occupant of property abutting upon any State
highway shall have reasonable means of ingress from and egress to the State
highway consistent with the use being made of such property and not
inconsistent with public safety or with the proper construction and
maintenance of the State highway for purposes of travel, drainage and other
appropriate public use. The Department is authorized to adopt and to amend
reasonable and necessary rules, regulations and specifications covering
standard entrance or exit driveways to serve residential, farm, commercial,
industrial, and roadside service establishments and other uses of property
abutting upon State highways including specifications for drainage and
other structures appurtenant to such driveways. No permit shall be issued
by the Department for the construction of any such driveway which does not
conform to the applicable standard prescribed by the Department unless the
application therefor is accompanied by drawings of and specifications for
the proposed construction and a showing of reasonable need for departure
from the applicable standard type of driveway prescribed by the Department
nor unless it is made to appear that the proposed construction and the use
thereof will not be inconsistent with public safety and use nor with the
proper construction and maintenance of the highway and its drainage and
other facilities.
