    Illinois does not refer to them as turnpikes.

    They have many toll roads though.

    I-90
    I-94
    I-80
    I-294
    I-88

    The only problem with this is the fact that the cars in IL travel close to 90. Unless there is some thing to slow them down thats pretty close to what they travel on I 80 in my observation.

    Yup, that's exactly why. They never would have changed it otherwise.

    They were probably looking at the flow of freight across the country and decided a big flat state stuck at 55 right in the middle was just dumb. Or two, rather. I somehow doubt that Ohio's speed going up is a coincidence.

    I dunno what the deal is up in the NW. California is insane enough to tell the feds to shove it, they probably already did.

    California is a trip. They are doing an excellent job of destroying the transportation industry.
