Press release from The Lake County Division of Transportation:
December 17, 2020
The Lake County Division of Transportation (LCDOT) is aiming to solve a problem that has plagued drivers for the past few years, blowing heavy snow covering red lights. To combat this issue, LCDOT is installing snow-proof visors on red lights at all 176 Lake County-owned traffic signals. The visors which consist of a clear cone and a modified visor attachment were developed by Snow Proof Signals LLC.

The cones form a complete circle around the light and extend out by about 1 foot to keep snow from blocking visibility of the entire light. The visors were paid for using Highway Safety Improvement Program grant funding from the Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT).

After two decades in the making, a $22 million project to widen Quentin Road between Kildeer and Lake Zurich is in the books.
Landscaping, cleanup and minor work will be completed in spring, but more than two years of construction on Quentin from White Pine Road near Route 12 to Route 22 is complete.
All five lanes were opened in late November, ending rush-hour traffic snags on the key stretch in southwestern Lake County.
