There are 2 signed Runaway Truck Ramps in Randolph County in Chester. Those usually aren't signed on "flat"  land

One is on IL 3, south out of town, on the main Coal Truck route between the mine on the Randolph/Perry County Line and the River Terminal south of Chester: https://www.google.com/maps/@37.884919,-89.7858846,3a,75y,154.19h,84.68t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sc-aqBcVVgScXGxo8PFGNXA!2e0!7i16384!8i8192

The other is on Randolph Street, coming down from the Mississippi River Bridge approach down to Kaskaskia Street/Truck Bypass on the banks of the river: https://www.google.com/maps/@37.9048745,-89.8329119,3a,75y,245.07h,86.22t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1s9s3hsu9mSZ0J_-H_3RFWfw!2e0!7i13312!8i6656

Let's add some rolling terrain in McDonough County to the equation too.

Give me 200 more of these links and I'll be ready to consider Illinois not being flat

[Flint1979]

Any hilly areas that Illinois has seem to be near a state border. Overall I don't know how anyone could think that Illinois is known as being hilly. The central parts of the state certain aren't hilly and neither are many of these links that are being shown. So the elevation shifts a few feet it doesn't mean that Illinois is known to be hilly.

[Flint1979]

And like I mentioned before the elevation difference between Saginaw and Flint is 150 feet. You'd be hard pressed to notice the difference driving along I-75 or Dixie Highway/Saginaw Road. Next I guess the thumb area of Michigan will be considered hilly, he's already claimed that Saginaw County is which I find funny.

Again, there's a lot more than that. I take it you've never been to the Metro East area.

And not once did I say Saginaw County was hilly. It's Michigan's equivalent of Douglas County in Illinois.

I learned everything I needed to about Michigan passing through on I-94 and I-69.

Same except I-15 and Arizona.

Shows how little you know about Saginaw County,

Can we all just agree that Illinois is the new flesh already?

It's the flattest county in Michigan just like Douglas County is the flattest county in Illinois.

The dick measuring contest the OP wants to keep dragging on is quite entertaining.

Gotta love the flatness of Illinois.

What are you calling "near" a state border?  As the crow flies, Ferne Clyffe State Park–which has a waterfall–is 21 miles from the nearest state line, in a county that does not border another state.

[tchafe1978]

Your state is flatter than my state!

No your state is flatter!

I know you are but what am I?

It's third grade all over again...

Here's DeWitt County, also not near a state border

This is going to be a tough challenge!  200 is a big number.  So I'll do it in chunks, and see how far I can get.  My goal is to have only one GSV per road–no duplicates.  Here are my first 25 GSV links, plus two bonus ones thrown in at the end.

Over/Under bets anyone on how long it will take to come up with 200 non-flat unique images of Illinois?

[dlsterner]

"My state can beat up your state!"

"Oh yeah?"

"Yeah!"

When is the last time Illinois really had one over on Michigan?  Was it when the Chicago Bulls finally surpassed the Detroit Pistons?

I mean, despite the Bears not being great, they've certainly been better than the Lions.
