It's quite the stark contrast where lower speed limits (i.e. 20 or 25 MPH) are found in Chicago today.

Data is from OpenStreetMap as of 02/19/2025
See the data for yourself overpass-turbo.eu/s/1Z3U
A screenshot of streets in Chicago's Northside where the speed limit is 20 or 25 mph from data queried from OpenStreetMap. There are a lot of streets in the image that matched the query. The image is approximately bound on the North around Howard Ave the East by Lake Michigan the South by Pershing Rd and the West by Cumberland Ave. A screenshot of streets in Chicago's Southside where the speed limit is 20 or 25 mph from data queried from OpenStreetMap. There are not a lot of streets in the image that matched the query. The image is approximately bound on the North around W Cermak Rd the East by Lake Michigan the South by W 138th St and the West by S 1st Ave.

What’s your sign?
A sign located on North Ave in Oak Park Illinois, SIGN WAS ERECTED BY THE ROTARY CLUB OF OAK PARK, 1999. CONTINENTAL DIVIDE You are standing on a Continental Divide. Water falling on this line separates and runs to the west and to the east. To the west the water flows to the Des Plaines River in River Forest, on to the Illinois and Mississippi Rivers and to the Gulf of Mexico. To the east, historically, the flow was to the Chicago River, to Lake Michigan, through the Great Lakes to the Atlantic Ocean. With the reversal of the flow of the Chicago River in 1900, all water now flows to the Gulf of Mexico. East of this line is a ridge which is the beach of ancient Lake Chicago. The high, dry ground formed by this ridge encouraged early settlement in Oak Park in 1837. Along the entire length of the Continental Divide, only one point, just five miles south of Oak Park, offered the possibility of easy connection from the Great Lakes to the western rivers. This point provided a link between the two navigation systems and was the location of three important waterways - the French Voyageur route over the Chicago Portage discovered in 1673, the Illinois and Michigan Canal completed in 1848 and the Sanitary and Ship Canal completed in 1900.
