Stop when traffic obstructed.(a) No driver shall enter an  intersection or a marked crosswalk or drive onto any railroad grade  crossing unless there is sufficient space on the other side of the  intersection, crosswalk or railroad grade crossing to accommodate the  vehicle he is operating without obstructing the passage of other  vehicles, pedestrians or railroad trains notwithstanding any  traffic-control signal indication to proceed.(b) No driver shall enter a highway rail grade crossing unless there is  sufficient space on  the other side of the highway rail grade crossing to accommodate the vehicle  being  operated without obstructing the passage of a train or other railroad equipment  using the  rails, notwithstanding any traffic-control signal indication to proceed.(c) (Blank).(d) Beginning with the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly,  the Secretary of State shall suspend for a period of one month  the driving  privileges of any person convicted of a violation of subsection (b) of this  Section or a similar provision of a local ordinance; the Secretary shall  suspend for a period of 3 months the driving privileges of any person convicted  of a second or subsequent violation of subsection (b) of this Section or a  similar provision of a local ordinance if the second or subsequent violation  occurs within 5 years of a prior conviction for the same offense. In addition  to the suspensions authorized by this Section, any person convicted of  violating subsection (b) of this Section or a similar provision of a local ordinance  shall be subject to a mandatory fine of $500 or 50 hours of community service. Any person given a disposition of court supervision for violating subsection (b) of this Section or a similar provision of a local ordinance shall also be subject to a mandatory fine of $500 or 50 hours of community service. Upon a second or subsequent  violation, in addition to the suspensions authorized by this Section, the person shall be subject to a mandatory fine of $500 and 50 hours community service.  The Secretary may also grant, for the duration of any  suspension issued under this subsection, a restricted driving permit  granting the privilege of driving a motor vehicle between the driver's  residence and place of employment or within other proper limits that the  Secretary of State shall find necessary to avoid any undue hardship. A  restricted driving permit issued hereunder shall be subject to  cancellation, revocation and suspension by the Secretary of State in like  manner and for like cause as a driver's license may be cancelled, revoked  or suspended; except that a conviction upon one or more offenses against  laws or ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be deemed  sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension or cancellation of the  restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as a condition to  the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require the applicant to  participate in a designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program. Any  conviction for a violation of this subsection shall be included as an  offense for the purposes of determining suspension action under any other  provision of this Code, provided however, that the penalties provided under  this subsection shall be imposed unless those penalties imposed under other  applicable provisions are greater.
