Hey Chicago Drivers,

Even if you‟re from Chicago, listening to traffic reports can be very

confusing!

For some, it‟s a bunch of gibberish jammed into a short minute.If you don‟t know what to listen for, it‟

s honestly pretty worthless.So often, people ask me questions like these:-Who is this Jane Addams and where is her tollway?-Is Gaper an expressway?-Where on earth is the Bishop Ford?

That‟s why I decided to put together this handy little guide! I‟ll break it all

down with maps and detailed descriptions of the major roadways in theChicago area

. After reading through it, you‟ll know the nam

es, numbersand nicknames of all the roads! (The Northwest Tollway, The Jane AddamsTollway and I-90 are all the same road! Not confusing at all, right! )So print this out if you want-- share it with your friends! Hopefully it willhelp prevent you from pulling your hair out everytime you hear words like

“the junction”, “gapers” and “the merge”.Unfortunately, this awesome guide won‟t prevent

horrible Chicago traffic. It

will always be bad. But now, you‟ll know *how bad! You‟ll be informed and

you can impress all your friends with your wealth of knowledge about

Chicago traffic. Just don‟t

get cocky and try to take my job;)Sarah JindraSarah.Jindra@Navteq.com
