Inside the Tollway

April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month and the Illinois Tollway is reminding drivers to Drive first. Everything else can wait.

The Illinois Tollway is designed to be a comfortable drive  with open road tolling, smooth pavement and well-maintained roads. We take care of the road, so your trip is easier.

But comfortable roads don’t mean it’s time to check your phone, or send a text, eat lunch, search for a new playlist or touch up makeup.

Because at 70 miles per hour, even a brief distraction can lead to a crash.

That’s why, throughout April, we are focused on one clear message: Drive First. 

Look for our message on digital message signs and on social media – and pass it on.  See Roadway Safety - Illinois Tollway

Even when the road feels predictable, your attention matters because conditions can change in seconds.

Driving deserves your full attention. Everything else – the text, the food, the makeup, the music – can wait.
