I agree that anyone making those movements will have already passed a point where those could be made more efficiently. However, I just poked around on Street View, and don't see any signs on the westbound tollway prior to the 80/294 split that direct you to any part of I-57. Admittedly I didn't "drive"  everywhere, or check all past images. Are there any such signs I missed?

It ain't much, but there's something. https://goo.gl/maps/cASjEe2QdopnLTq4A

In practice, if you're trying to get to I-57 using that sign alone, it's already too late since there's a huge amount of truck traffic exiting onto I-80 in my experience. But I doubt that's a huge issue; just about everybody trying to get to I-57 is either using navigation or already knows there isn't a direct connection.

Thanks. That's, um, fairly useless!
