I thought I have one mile of access from any interstate. Is that true?
Under Federal law, trucks are allowed one mile of access from a National Network highway (interstate) only for the purposes of food, fuel, rest, repairs, loading and unloading. Trucks may not use this mile to cut-thru to another highway and must obey all posted bridge weight limits. In Palatine, RT53 is the only National Network highway and it ends at RT68.
