With thousands expected at gas stations across the city on Thursday for businessman Willie Wilson’s giveaway, Chicago officials released rules to ensure the events move smoothly.

With thousands expected at gas stations across the city on Thursday for businessman Willie Wilson's giveaway, Chicago officials released rules to ensure the events move smoothly.

At gas stations across the city, vehicles can begin lining up at 7 a.m. and each will receive a sticker indicating their position in line, according to the Office of Emergency Management and Communications.

OEMC noted, however, that cars may not start lining up prior to 7 a.m. All vehicles must also have a sticker to receive free gas.

Each vehicle can receive up to $50 worth of gas, OEMC said. Locations can expect up to 400 cars for an estimated four to five hours.

Traffic Control Aides and the Chicago Police Department will send officers to each participating location to assist in the flow of traffic, as Wilson's first giveaway last week led to major jams near a number of citywide gas stations.

In suburban Evanston, officials said heavy traffic is anticipated Thursday morning at Green Bay Road and Foster Street due to the gas giveaway at the Mobil station.

Drivers will only be able to enter the Mobil gas station southbound on Green Bay Road, officials noted. Ashbury Avenue will be closed to northbound traffic at Emerson Street, with Foster Street closed eastbound at the alley east of Wesley Avenue.

Evanston police will be placed along the street to assist drivers during the gas giveaway event.

In partnership with approximately 50 gas stations from around the Chicago area, the businessman said he will offer drivers free gas until his $1 million is spent.
