IDOT GIS Data Accuracy Disclaimer

IDOT roadway data was created as a linknode system in the 1980's, based on numerous topographic and geographic sources resulting in locational inaccuracies. IDOT is currently undertaking a process to realign our roads using the 1998 – 1999 Illinois Digital Ortho Quarter Quad (DOQQ) photos to increase the accuracy of IDOT GIS data. This process will not be completed until the end of 2005. The realignment process has been completed for Districts 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 and 7. There could be approximately a 200 – 500 foot offset in the accuracy of the data in the districts that have not been realigned.
