In Illinois, a township road district requires a designated "highway commissioner" who oversees road maintenance and construction within the district, with the primary responsibility of managing township roads, including the power to levy taxes for road projects, but all actions must adhere to the Illinois Highway Code, which mandates that road plans, construction, and traffic control devices receive approval from the county engineer or superintendent of highways; additionally, townships can consolidate into a single road district through a referendum vote if desired.

Road Commissioners Office

The Township Highway Commissioner or the Road District Commissioner has all the road district roads under his or her jurisdiction except those inside incorporated cities and villages. He or she is responsible for their construction and maintenance to the extent that the electors provide him or her with the funds for such.
