Rumble Strips - does your state still use them?

Illinois used to use them as well for the Toll Plazas but no longer do. The only place the still exist as far as I recall is on I-190 before 2 sweeping curves coming into O'Hare and 1 curve leaving O'Hare.

Not much point to them on the tollways anymore with 85% of users having an I-Pass or EZ-Pass.

Now, IDOT does use them before rural four way stop signs such as along IL-47 south of Dwight.

The Chicago Skyway (barely) uses them; the eastbound lanes hit three sets of three small strips right before the toll bridge. There is no such warning in the westbound lanes.

The Edens portion of U.S. 41 northbound uses them to warn traffic that the freeway is ending with an awaiting traffic signal.

Also, when I-65 had an at-grade intersection with traffic entering from the Toll Road, they used rumble strips to mark the end of I-65 northbound and the impending signal. They were removed for good when work to rehabilitate that portion of the highway began in 2000, just three years before they changed the intersection to an interchange.

I believe Alabama still uses them. About 15 years ago they used raised reflectors to mimic what the raised rumble strips do now.
