Illinois Tollway Time of Day Shoulder Running Demo

Description

This project would manage tollway shoulders as additional capacity during certain times of the day. There are locations, such as at I–94 at IL 132 which accesses Great America, where traffic backs up dangerously and the shoulder could be used as storage capacity to keep autos out of traffic, or other locations which can use the shoulders at certain times of the day. This demo will help determine whether this is a useful strategy which should implemented more widely.
