The Road Sign We Can’t Stand Seeing The Most In Illinois

When you enter the good ol' state of Illinois, you get bombarded with road signs to no end.  There's one sign I really can't stand seeing at every corner.

I was scrolling through TikTok the other night when I saw this video of three brothers sitting in their car talking about road signs.  They asked the question, "What's your favorite road sign?"

A very random question, but then I got to thinking which signs I just CAN'T stand.  You'll probably agree that you dread seeing it just a little bit.

Yup, I know you're rolling your eyes just looking at it in disgust.

The "Road Work Ahead" sign means 3 things:

#1: Traffic delays + inconveniences

#2: Detours we don't want to take

#3: We have to leave earlier for work to be on time

With summer in full swing, there is so much construction happening around Illinois.  In Rockford, you can't go on a short drive without seeing construction.

It's great we're fixing up the city, but man... sometimes road construction is a serious pain in the *ss.

Now, let me ask you this: What's your FAVORITE road sign?

If I had to pick, I'd say YIELD.

You have options with a yield - you can go when you want, but just make good judgement and gauge the best time to accelerate.

I also love "PED XING" because for the longest time I thought it was pronounced "PED EX-ING" instead of Pedestrian Crossing lol.

What's YOUR favorite, or least favorite, road sign around town?
