Downers Drive in Downers Grove, IL defaults into an entrance ramp to WB I-88

Then, nearby, there's this little parking lot entrance driveway that oddly turns into an entrance ramp to I-88 East.

The building adjacent to this entrance is ISTHA HQ. This 88EB entrance used to be restricted to ISTHA personnel and was not open to the general motoring public. ISTHA changed a couple of things pavement and signing there and opened it as a publicly available 88EB ramp off US 34/Ogden Ave maybe 10 years ago or so?

Skokie Boulevard (US 41) in Wilmette, IL defaults onto I-94. What's worse is Illinois Road ends at Skokie Boulevard right before it merges into I-94. So if you turn right at this intersection you're going on an interstate, but it's not signed at all.

Right here in my hometown...Fayette Street defaults into an onramp to I-70 west. This is a very substandard interchange, as are most of them on this stretch of I-70, and the ramp ends in a stop sign instead of a merge.
