Roadway Jurisdiction
The majority of the road, from Rand Road in Palatine to Skokie Highway (U.S. Route 41) in Northbrook is maintained by the Cook County Highway Department designated Cook County Trunk Highway A50. This entire Cook County-maintained stretch is four lanes wide. The far western segment of the roadway (which is called Lake Cook Road in Algonquin and County Line Road in Barrington Hills) from Illinois Route 62 to Ridge Road in Algonquin and Barrington Hills is maintained by the McHenry County Division of Transportation designated McHenry County Highway A50. Other segments, such as the segment between Ridge Road and Quentin Road in Barrington and the eastern segment from Skokie Highway to Sheridan Road in Highland Park and Glencoe are maintained by the Illinois Department of Transportation without any route number.
