A sign demonstrating how tollways are mainly to gouge non-Illinoisans to suck up out-of-state revenue.

Based on your source (gobytrucknews.com) it's an illustration for a news article. So it is very likely NOT a real sign. Nice try, but  no.

I'll start with the most appropriate one, from I-95 in Philadelphia.  August 10, 2004.



And then DC's Independence Avenue.  From I-66.  June 14, 2006.



Finally, something completely different.  I-70 in Colorado.  March 5, 2013.

Regardless of which, it doesn't depict any amount of money. :-)

It's funny you say that, because not only is the picture I posted also quite recently taken, but I'm pretty sure the road depicted is named for that very city. (That particular sign is about 15 miles away.)
