In Seipp v. Chicago Transit Authority, 12 Ill. App. 3d 852, 299 N.E.2d 330 (1973), the trial court stated that when "a means of ingress and egress is prescribed for invitees, it is the duty of the inviter to properly illuminate, give adequate warning of, or cause to be repaired a known, dangerous condition." Seipp, 12 Ill. App. 3d at 859. In Seipp, the defendant did prescribe a safely illuminated means of ingress and egress, yet plaintiff chose to take another path. Seipp, 12 Ill. App. 3d at 858. The trial court noted that the "plaintiff knew of this route but elected to take a shortcut to her home." Seipp, 12 Ill. App. 3d at 858. Since there was "no evidence that the defendant either prescribed the alternate route to his patrons as a means of egress or ingress or assumed its use as such at the time of the accident," the Seipp court found the trial court's directed verdict in favor of defendant was proper. Seipp, 12 Ill. App. 3d at 859.
