A new AT&T survey says that more adults than teens are likely to text while driving. Do you think it's true in Bolingbrook, Plainfield and Joliet?
Hey Mom and Dad, and all the other adults out there: Do you text and drive? A new survey by AT&T Wireless indicates you do. Does the expression “Do as I say, not as I do” ring true here? Perhaps it should it be, “Drive as I say, not as I text.” With the National Safety Council attributing more than 100,000 crashes a year to texting and driving, and with 75 percent of teens saying texting and driving is common among their friends, perhaps many assumed the problem was associated most with these youthful drivers. But the AT&T Wireless survey indicates otherwise. According to the survey, 43 percent of teen drivers admitted to texting and driving. But there are far fewer teen drivers than adult drivers — and 49 percent of adult drivers admitted…

A survey is being taken to get public input on whether drivers would like to see the median as an extra lane of traffic and whether they'd be willing to pay for the convenience.
The Illinois Department of Transportation is considering a "managed lane" of traffic on Interstate 55 -- possibly with a fee charged -- to help reduce congestion and create a more predictable commute to and from Chicago. IDOT's Managed Lane Project is studying the addition of a lane of traffic on I-55 in each direction that would begin at Interstate 355 and end at Interstate 90/94, aka the Dan Ryan Expressway. Although the proposed route would start at Bolingbrook, it would affect all commuters who pick up I-55 before that point, including drivers from Joliet, Romeoville, Plainfield, Shorewood and Channahon. The first step is a survey on IDOT's Web site seeking such information as how frequently the survey taker uses I-55 is to commute to …
