<nowiki>'''</nowiki>US Highways<nowiki>'''</nowiki> <nowiki>[[File:Illinois-US66-Shield.png|40px|text-bottom]]</nowiki><nowiki><br /></nowiki>
US Highways (or routes) are named in Illinois using the standard US <nowiki>[[Road names#United_States_Numbered_Highways|Road Naming]]</nowiki> guidelines. The base format of the name for these road types is:
<nowiki>:</nowiki><nowiki>'''</nowiki>US-66<nowiki>'''</nowiki> For U.S. Route 66
<nowiki>'''</nowiki>State Highways (Routes)<nowiki>'''</nowiki>  <nowiki>[[File:Illinois-IL23-Shield.png|40px|text-bottom]]</nowiki><nowiki><br /></nowiki>
Illinois state highways are named as follows:
<nowiki>:</nowiki><nowiki>'''</nowiki>SR-23<nowiki>'''</nowiki> For Illinois Route 23
<nowiki>:</nowiki><nowiki>'''</nowiki>SR-23 S<nowiki>'''</nowiki> For Illinois Route 23, Southbound

County highways in Illinois are named with a "CH" prefix as illustrated below.
<nowiki>:</nowiki><nowiki>'''</nowiki>CH-4<nowiki>'''</nowiki> For County Highway 4
<nowiki>:</nowiki><nowiki>'''</nowiki>CH-4 S<nowiki>'''</nowiki> For County Highway 4, Southbound
<nowiki>:</nowiki>Where Counties have highway designations beginning with a letter, the format looks like this:
<nowiki>:</nowiki><nowiki>'''</nowiki>CH-T4<nowiki>'''</nowiki> For County Highway T4
<nowiki>:</nowiki><nowiki>'''</nowiki>CH-T4 E<nowiki>'''</nowiki> For County Highway T4, Eastbound
Proper sourcing of county routes and highways is important for applying road type guidance (<nowiki>[[Road types]]</nowiki>). CH may or may not always be shielded. Sources other than <nowiki>[[Map_Editor_Interface_and_Controls#Street_View |WME SV]]</nowiki> may need to be used. <nowiki>{{u|The interactive IDOT functional classification map uses a third-party base map source which is subject to copyright restrictions and may not be correct, therefore, it should not be used as a source for naming information}}</nowiki>. In order of preference, source county route/highway numbering from WME SV images less than three years old (consult <nowiki>[[Illinois#Area_Managers |LAM or SM]]</nowiki> if images are older), published county information, or the IDOT county highway maps available at <nowiki>[http://www.idot.illinois.gov/transportation-system/Network-Overview/highway-system/maps IDOT Maps.]</nowiki>
<nowiki>'''</nowiki>County Roads<nowiki>'''</nowiki><nowiki><br /></nowiki>
Rural counties in Illinois employ a geographic coordinate system to name roads outside established communities. These roads are prefixed with a "CR." These names employ a number and a cardinal direction, general north (N) or east (E) of a specified locus. For example:
<nowiki>:</nowiki><nowiki>'''</nowiki>CR-1000 E<nowiki>'''</nowiki> Refers to county road 1000 E
<nowiki>:</nowiki><nowiki>'''</nowiki>CR-3000 N<nowiki>'''</nowiki> Refers to county road 3000 N
<nowiki>'''</nowiki>Township Roads<nowiki>'''</nowiki><nowiki><br /></nowiki>
A select few counties may employ township roads. Please consult with the state managers before editing names of township roads.
