Rakow Roadway System Being Monitored

With Rakow Road recently being opened as a new roadway system, the McHenry County Division of Transportation will be monitoring the entire corridor to see how it functions. 

They will be looking at all of the new traffic signal installations, timings and the “No Turn on Right” requirement for eastbound McHenry Avenue traffic to southbound Randall Road. 


Once the roadways have been operational for a time allowing “normal” traffic patterns to resume, traffic counts will be analyzed to see if adjustments are required.  This will be a continual process. 


All of the signals along Rakow are interconnected in an attempt to make travel along Rakow more efficient, although that comes with some disadvantages for cross road traffic.  Continual attempts will be made to make the entire system as efficient as possible, but that does not mean that all directions of traffic will have continual flow at all times. 


Thank you and enjoy the new road!
