(625 ILCS 5/11-208.3) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 11-208.3)
Sec. 11-208.3. Administrative adjudication of violations of traffic
regulations concerning the standing, parking, or condition of
vehicles, automated traffic law violations, and automated speed enforcement system violations.
(a) Any municipality or county may provide by ordinance for a system of
administrative adjudication of vehicular standing and parking violations and
vehicle compliance violations as described in this subsection, automated traffic law violations as defined in Section 11-208.6, 11-208.9, or 11-1201.1, and automated speed enforcement system violations as defined in Section 11-208.8.
The administrative system shall have as its purpose the fair and
efficient enforcement of municipal or county regulations through the
administrative adjudication of automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic law violations and violations of municipal or county ordinances
regulating the standing and parking of vehicles, the condition and use of
vehicle equipment, and the display of municipal or county wheel tax licenses within the
municipality's
or county's borders.  The administrative system shall only have authority to adjudicate
civil offenses carrying fines not in excess of $500 or requiring the completion of a traffic education program, or both, that occur after the
effective date of the ordinance adopting such a system under this Section.
For purposes of this Section, "compliance violation" means a violation of a
municipal or county regulation governing the condition or use of equipment on a vehicle
or governing the display of a municipal or county wheel tax license.
(b) Any ordinance establishing a system of administrative adjudication
under this Section shall provide for:
(1) A traffic compliance administrator authorized to     adopt, distribute, and process parking, compliance, and automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic law violation notices and other notices required by this Section, collect money paid as fines and penalties for violation of parking and compliance ordinances and automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic law violations, and operate an administrative adjudication system.
(2) A parking, standing, compliance, automated speed     enforcement system, or automated traffic law violation notice that shall specify or include the date, time, and place of violation of a parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law regulation; the particular regulation violated; any requirement to complete a traffic education program; the fine and any penalty that may be assessed for late payment or failure to complete a required traffic education program, or both, when so provided by ordinance; the vehicle make or a photograph of the vehicle; the state registration number of the vehicle; and the identification number of the person issuing the notice. With regard to automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic law violations, vehicle make shall be specified on the automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic law violation notice if the notice does not include a photograph of the vehicle and the make is available and readily discernible. With regard to municipalities or counties with a population of 1 million or more, it shall be grounds for dismissal of a parking violation if the state registration number or vehicle make specified is incorrect. The violation notice shall state that the completion of any required traffic education program, the payment of any indicated fine, and the payment of any applicable penalty for late payment or failure to complete a required traffic education program, or both, shall operate as a final disposition of the violation.  The notice also shall contain information as to the availability of a hearing in which the violation may be contested on its merits.  The violation notice shall specify the time and manner in which a hearing may be had.
(3) Service of a parking, standing, or compliance     violation notice by: (i) affixing the original or a facsimile of the notice to an unlawfully parked or standing vehicle; (ii) handing the notice to the operator of a vehicle if he or she is present; or (iii) mailing the notice to the address of the registered owner or lessee of the cited vehicle as recorded with the Secretary of State or the lessor of the motor vehicle within 30 days after the Secretary of State or the lessor of the motor vehicle notifies the municipality or county of the identity of the owner or lessee of the vehicle, but not later than 90 days after the date of the violation, except that in the case of a lessee of a motor vehicle, service of a parking, standing, or compliance violation notice may occur no later than 210 days after the violation; and service of an automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic law violation notice by mail to the address of the registered owner or lessee of the cited vehicle as recorded with the Secretary of State or the lessor of the motor vehicle within 30 days after the Secretary of State or the lessor of the motor vehicle notifies the municipality or county of the identity of the owner or lessee of the vehicle, but not later than 90 days after the violation, except that in the case of a lessee of a motor vehicle, service of an automated traffic law violation notice may occur no later than 210 days after the violation.  A person authorized by ordinance to issue and serve parking, standing, and compliance violation notices shall certify as to the correctness of the facts entered on the violation notice by signing his or her name to the notice at the time of service or, in the case of a notice produced by a computerized device, by signing a single certificate to be kept by the traffic compliance administrator attesting to the correctness of all notices produced by the device while it was under his or her control.  In the case of an automated traffic law violation, the ordinance shall require a determination by a technician employed or contracted by the municipality or county that, based on inspection of recorded images, the motor vehicle was being operated in violation of Section 11-208.6, 11-208.9, or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance. If the technician determines that the vehicle entered the intersection as part of a funeral procession or in order to yield the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle, a citation shall not be issued. In municipalities with a population of less than 1,000,000 inhabitants and counties with a population of less than 3,000,000 inhabitants, the automated traffic law ordinance shall require that all determinations by a technician that a motor vehicle was being operated in violation of Section 11-208.6, 11-208.9, or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance must be reviewed and approved by a law enforcement officer or retired law enforcement officer of the municipality or county issuing the violation. In municipalities with a population of 1,000,000 or more inhabitants and counties with a population of 3,000,000 or more inhabitants,  the automated traffic law ordinance shall require that all determinations by a technician that a motor vehicle was being operated in violation of Section 11-208.6, 11-208.9, or 11-1201.1 or a local ordinance must be reviewed and approved by a law enforcement officer or retired law enforcement officer of the municipality or county issuing the violation or by an additional fully trained reviewing technician who is not employed by the contractor who employs the technician who made the initial determination. In the case of an automated speed enforcement system violation, the ordinance shall require a determination by a technician employed by the municipality, based upon an inspection of recorded images, video or other documentation, including documentation of the speed limit and automated speed enforcement signage, and documentation of the inspection, calibration, and certification of the speed equipment, that the vehicle was being operated in violation of Article VI of Chapter 11 of this Code or a similar local ordinance.  If the technician determines that the vehicle speed was not determined by a calibrated, certified speed equipment device based upon the speed equipment documentation, or if the vehicle was an emergency vehicle, a citation may not be issued. The automated speed enforcement ordinance shall require that all determinations by a technician that a violation occurred be reviewed and approved by a law enforcement officer or retired law enforcement officer of the municipality issuing the violation or by an additional fully trained reviewing technician who is not employed by the contractor who employs the technician who made the initial determination.  Routine and independent calibration of the speeds produced by automated speed enforcement systems and equipment shall be conducted annually by a qualified technician.  Speeds produced by an automated speed enforcement system shall be compared with speeds produced by lidar or other independent equipment. Radar or lidar equipment shall undergo an internal validation test no less frequently than once each week. Qualified technicians shall test loop-based equipment no less frequently than once a year.  Radar equipment shall be checked for accuracy by a qualified technician when the unit is serviced, when unusual or suspect readings persist, or when deemed necessary by a reviewing technician. Radar equipment shall be checked with the internal frequency generator and the internal circuit test whenever the radar is turned on. Technicians must be alert for any unusual or suspect readings, and if unusual or suspect readings of a radar unit persist, that unit shall immediately be removed from service and not returned to service until it has been checked by a qualified technician and determined to be functioning properly. Documentation of the annual calibration results, including the equipment tested, test date, technician performing the test, and test results, shall be maintained and available for use in the determination of an automated speed enforcement system violation and issuance of a citation. The technician performing the calibration and testing of the automated speed enforcement equipment shall be trained and certified in the use  of equipment for speed enforcement purposes.  Training on the speed enforcement equipment may be conducted by law enforcement, civilian, or manufacturer's personnel and if applicable may be equivalent to the equipment use and operations training included in the Speed Measuring Device Operator Program developed by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA).  The vendor or technician who performs the work shall keep accurate records on each piece of equipment the technician calibrates and tests. As used in this paragraph, "fully trained reviewing technician" means a person who has received at least 40 hours of supervised training in subjects which shall include image inspection and interpretation, the elements necessary to prove a violation, license plate identification, and traffic safety and management. In all municipalities and counties, the automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic law ordinance shall require that no additional fee shall be charged to the alleged violator for exercising his or her right to an administrative hearing, and persons shall be given at least 25 days following an administrative hearing to pay any civil penalty imposed by a finding that Section 11-208.6, 11-208.8, 11-208.9, or 11-1201.1 or a similar local ordinance has been violated. The original or a facsimile of the violation notice or, in the case of a notice produced by a computerized device, a printed record generated by the device showing the facts entered on the notice, shall be retained by the traffic compliance administrator, and shall be a record kept in the ordinary course of business.  A parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law violation notice issued, signed, and served in accordance with this Section, a copy of the notice, or the computer-generated record shall be prima facie correct and shall be prima facie evidence of the correctness of the facts shown on the notice.  The notice, copy, or computer-generated record shall be admissible in any subsequent administrative or legal proceedings.
(4) An opportunity for a hearing for the registered     owner of the vehicle cited in the parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law violation notice in which the owner may contest the merits of the alleged violation, and during which formal or technical rules of evidence shall not apply; provided, however, that under Section 11-1306 of this Code the lessee of a vehicle cited in the violation notice likewise shall be provided an opportunity for a hearing of the same kind afforded the registered owner.  The hearings shall be recorded, and the person conducting the hearing on behalf of the traffic compliance administrator shall be empowered to administer oaths and to secure by subpoena both the attendance and testimony of witnesses and the production of relevant books and papers.  Persons appearing at a hearing under this Section may be represented by counsel at their expense. The ordinance may also provide for internal administrative review following the decision of the hearing officer.
(5) Service of additional notices, sent by first     class United States mail, postage prepaid, to the address of the registered owner of the cited vehicle as recorded with the Secretary of State or, if any notice to that address is returned as undeliverable, to the last known address recorded in a United States Post Office approved database, or, under Section 11-1306 or subsection (p) of Section 11-208.6 or 11-208.9, or subsection (p) of Section 11-208.8   of this Code, to the lessee of the cited vehicle at the last address known to the lessor of the cited vehicle at the time of lease or, if any notice to that address is returned as undeliverable, to the last known address recorded in a United States Post Office approved database.  The service shall be deemed complete as of the date of deposit in the United States mail. The notices shall be in the following sequence and shall include, but not be limited to, the information specified herein:
(i) A second notice of parking, standing, or         compliance violation if the first notice of the violation was issued by affixing the original or a facsimile of the notice to the unlawfully parked vehicle or by handing the notice to the operator.  This notice shall specify or include the date and location of the violation cited in the parking, standing, or compliance violation notice, the particular regulation violated, the vehicle make or a photograph of the vehicle, the state registration number of the vehicle, any requirement to complete a traffic education program, the fine and any penalty that may be assessed for late payment or failure to complete a traffic education program, or both, when so provided by ordinance, the availability of a hearing in which the violation may be contested on its merits, and the time and manner in which the hearing may be had.  The notice of violation shall also state that failure to complete a required traffic education program, to pay the indicated fine and any applicable penalty, or to appear at a hearing on the merits in the time and manner specified, will result in a final determination of violation liability for the cited violation in the amount of the fine or penalty indicated, and that, upon the occurrence of a final determination of violation liability for the failure, and the exhaustion of, or failure to exhaust, available administrative or judicial procedures for review, any incomplete traffic education program or any unpaid fine or penalty, or both, will constitute a debt due and owing the municipality or county.
(ii) A notice of final determination of parking,         standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law violation liability. This notice shall be sent following a final determination of parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law violation liability and the conclusion of judicial review procedures taken under this Section.  The notice shall state that  the incomplete traffic education program or the unpaid fine or penalty, or both, is a debt due and owing the municipality or county.  The notice shall contain warnings that failure to complete any required traffic education program or to pay any fine or penalty due and owing the municipality or county, or both, within the time specified may result in the municipality's or county's filing of a petition in the Circuit Court to have the incomplete traffic education program or unpaid fine or penalty, or both, rendered a judgment as provided by this Section, or, where applicable, may result in suspension of the person's driver's license for failure to complete a traffic education program.
(6) A notice of impending driver's license     suspension.  This notice shall be sent to the person liable for failure to complete a required traffic education program.   The notice shall state that failure to complete a required traffic education program within 45 days of the notice's date will result in the municipality or county notifying the Secretary of State that the person is eligible for initiation of suspension proceedings under Section 6-306.5 of this Code. The notice shall also state that the person may obtain a photostatic copy of an original ticket imposing a fine or penalty by sending a self-addressed, stamped envelope to the municipality or county along with a request for the photostatic copy.  The notice of impending driver's  license suspension shall be sent by first class United States mail, postage prepaid, to the address recorded with the Secretary of State or, if any notice to that address is returned as undeliverable, to the last known address recorded in a United States Post Office approved database.
(7) Final determinations of violation liability.  A     final determination of violation liability shall occur following failure to complete the required traffic education program or to pay the fine or penalty, or both, after a hearing officer's determination of violation liability and the exhaustion of or failure to exhaust any administrative review procedures provided by ordinance.  Where a person fails to appear at a hearing to contest the alleged violation in the time and manner specified in a prior mailed notice, the hearing officer's determination of violation liability shall become final:  (A) upon denial of a timely petition to set aside that determination, or (B) upon expiration of the period for filing the petition without a filing having been made.
(8) A petition to set aside a determination of     parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law violation liability that may be filed by a person owing an unpaid fine or penalty. A petition to set aside a determination of liability may also be filed by a person required to complete a traffic education program. The petition shall be filed with and ruled upon by the traffic compliance administrator in the manner and within the time specified by ordinance. The grounds for the petition may be limited to:  (A) the person not having been the owner or lessee of the cited vehicle on the date the violation notice was issued, (B) the person having already completed the required traffic education program or paid the fine or penalty, or both, for the violation in question, and (C) excusable failure to appear at or request a new date for a hearing. With regard to municipalities or counties with a population of 1 million or more, it shall be grounds for dismissal of a parking violation if the state registration number or vehicle make, only if specified in the violation notice, is incorrect. After the determination of parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law violation liability has been set aside upon a showing of just cause, the registered owner shall be provided with a hearing on the merits for that violation.
(9) Procedures for non-residents. Procedures by which     persons who are not residents of the municipality or county may contest the merits of the alleged violation without attending a hearing.
(10) A schedule of civil fines for violations of     vehicular standing, parking, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law regulations enacted by ordinance pursuant to this Section, and a schedule of penalties for late payment of the fines or failure to complete required traffic education programs, provided, however, that the total amount of the fine and penalty for any one violation shall not exceed $250, except as provided in subsection (c) of Section 11-1301.3 of this Code.
(11) Other provisions as are necessary and proper to     carry into effect the powers granted and purposes stated in this Section.
(b-5)   An automated speed enforcement system or automated traffic law ordinance adopted under this Section by a municipality or county shall require that the determination to issue a citation be vested solely with the municipality or county and that such authority may not be delegated to any vendor retained by the municipality or county. Any contract or agreement violating such a provision in the ordinance is null and void.
(c) Any municipality or county establishing vehicular standing, parking,
 compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law
regulations under this Section may also provide by ordinance for a
program of vehicle immobilization for the purpose of facilitating
enforcement of those regulations.  The program of vehicle
immobilization shall provide for immobilizing any eligible vehicle upon the
public way by presence of a restraint in a manner to prevent operation of
the vehicle.  Any ordinance establishing a program of vehicle
immobilization under this Section shall provide:
(1) Criteria for the designation of vehicles eligible     for immobilization.  A vehicle shall be eligible for immobilization when the registered owner of the vehicle has accumulated the number of incomplete traffic education programs or unpaid final determinations of parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law violation liability, or both, as determined by ordinance.
(2) A notice of impending vehicle immobilization and     a right to a hearing to challenge the validity of the notice by disproving liability for  the incomplete traffic education programs or unpaid final determinations of parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law violation liability, or both, listed on the notice.
(3) The right to a prompt hearing after a vehicle has     been immobilized or subsequently towed without the completion of the required traffic education program or payment of the outstanding fines and penalties on parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law violations, or both, for which final determinations have been issued.   An order issued after the hearing is a final administrative decision within the meaning of Section 3-101 of the Code of Civil Procedure.
(4) A post immobilization and post-towing notice     advising the registered owner of the vehicle of the right to a hearing to challenge the validity of the impoundment.
(d) Judicial review of final determinations of parking, standing,
compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law
violations and final administrative decisions issued after hearings
regarding vehicle immobilization and impoundment made
under this Section shall be subject to the provisions of
the Administrative Review Law.
(e) Any fine, penalty, incomplete traffic education program, or part of any fine or any penalty remaining
unpaid after the exhaustion of, or the failure to exhaust,  administrative
remedies created under this Section and the conclusion of any judicial
review procedures shall be a debt due and owing the municipality or county and, as
such, may be collected in accordance with applicable law. Completion of any required traffic education program and payment in full
of any fine or penalty resulting from a standing, parking,
compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law violation shall
constitute a final disposition of that violation.
(f) After the expiration of the period within which judicial review may
be sought for a final determination of parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law
violation, the municipality
or county may commence a proceeding in the Circuit Court for purposes of obtaining a
judgment on the final determination of violation.  Nothing in this
Section shall prevent a municipality or county from consolidating multiple final
determinations of parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law violations against a
person in a proceeding.
Upon commencement of the action, the municipality or county shall file a certified
copy or record of the final determination of parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law
violation, which shall be
accompanied by a certification that recites facts sufficient to show that
the final determination of violation was
issued in accordance with this Section and the applicable municipal
or county ordinance.  Service of the summons and a copy of the petition may be by
any method provided by Section 2-203 of the Code of Civil Procedure or by
certified mail, return receipt requested, provided that the total amount of
fines and penalties for final determinations of parking, standing,
compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law violations does not
exceed $2500.  If the court is satisfied that the final determination of
parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law violation was entered in accordance with
the requirements of
this Section and the applicable municipal or county ordinance, and that the registered
owner or the lessee, as the case may be, had an opportunity for an
administrative hearing and for judicial review as provided in this Section,
the court shall render judgment in favor of the municipality or county and against
the registered owner or the lessee for the amount indicated in the final
determination of parking, standing, compliance, automated speed enforcement system, or automated traffic law violation, plus costs.
The judgment shall have
the same effect and may be enforced in the same manner as other judgments
for the recovery of money.
(g) The fee for participating in a traffic education program under this Section shall not exceed $25.
A low-income individual required to complete a traffic education program under this Section who provides proof of eligibility for the federal earned income tax credit under Section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code or the Illinois earned income tax credit under Section 212 of the Illinois Income Tax Act shall not be required to pay any fee for participating in a required traffic education program.
(h)  Notwithstanding any other provision of law to the contrary, a person shall not be liable for violations, fees, fines, or penalties under this Section during the period in which the motor vehicle was stolen or hijacked, as indicated in a report to the appropriate law enforcement agency filed in a timely manner.

(Text of Section from P.A. 103-154)
Sec. 11-208.6. Automated traffic law enforcement system.
(a) As used in this Section, "automated traffic law enforcement
system" means a device with one or more motor vehicle sensors working
in conjunction with a red light signal to produce recorded images of
motor vehicles entering an intersection against a red signal
indication in violation of Section 11-306 of this Code or a similar provision
of a local ordinance.
An
automated traffic law enforcement system is a system, in a municipality or
county operated by a
governmental agency, that
produces a recorded image of a motor vehicle's
violation of a provision of this Code or a local ordinance
and is designed to obtain a clear recorded image of the
vehicle and the vehicle's license plate. The recorded image must also
display the time, date, and location of the violation.
(b) As used in this Section, "recorded images" means images
recorded by an automated traffic law enforcement system on:
(1) 2 or more photographs;
(2) 2 or more microphotographs;
(3) 2 or more electronic images; or
(4) a video recording showing the motor vehicle and,     on at least one image or portion of the recording, clearly identifying the registration plate or digital registration plate number of the motor vehicle.
(b-5) A municipality or
county that
produces a recorded image of a motor vehicle's
violation of a provision of this Code or a local ordinance must make the recorded images of a violation accessible to the alleged violator by providing the alleged violator with a website address, accessible through the Internet.
(c) Except as provided under Section 11-208.8 of this Code, a county or municipality, including a home rule county or municipality, may not use an automated traffic law enforcement system to provide recorded images of a motor vehicle for the purpose of recording its speed. Except as provided under Section 11-208.8 of this Code, the regulation of the use of automated traffic law enforcement systems to record vehicle speeds is an exclusive power and function of the State. This subsection (c) is a denial and limitation of home rule powers and functions under subsection (h) of Section 6 of Article VII of the Illinois Constitution.
(c-5) A county or municipality, including a home rule county or municipality, may not use an automated traffic law enforcement system to issue violations in instances where the motor vehicle comes to a complete stop and does not enter the intersection, as defined by Section 1-132 of this Code, during the cycle of the red signal indication unless one or more pedestrians or bicyclists are present, even if the motor vehicle stops at a point past a stop line or crosswalk where a driver is required to stop, as specified in subsection (c) of Section 11-306 of this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance.
(c-6) A county, or a municipality with less than 2,000,000 inhabitants, including a home rule county or municipality, may not use an automated traffic law enforcement system to issue violations in instances where a motorcyclist enters an intersection against a red signal
indication when the red signal fails to change to a green signal within a reasonable period of time not less than 120 seconds because of a signal malfunction or because the signal has failed to detect the arrival of the motorcycle due to the motorcycle's size or weight.
(d) For each violation of a provision of this Code or a local ordinance
recorded by an automatic
traffic law enforcement system, the county or municipality having
jurisdiction shall issue a written notice of the
violation to the registered owner of the vehicle as the alleged
violator. The notice shall be delivered to the registered
owner of the vehicle, by mail, within 30 days after the Secretary of State notifies the municipality or county of the identity of the owner of the vehicle, but in no event later than 90 days after the violation.
The notice shall include:
(1) the name and address of the registered owner of     the vehicle;
(2) the registration number of the motor vehicle     involved in the violation;
(3) the violation charged;
(4) the location where the violation occurred;
(5) the date and time of the violation;
(6) a copy of the recorded images;
(7) the amount of the civil penalty imposed and the     requirements of any traffic education program imposed and the date by which the civil penalty should be paid and the traffic education program should be completed;
(8) a statement that recorded images are evidence of     a violation of a red light signal;
(9) a warning that failure to pay the civil penalty,     to complete a required traffic education program, or to contest liability in a timely manner is an admission of liability;
(10) a statement that the person may elect to proceed     by:
(A) paying the fine, completing a required         traffic education program, or both; or
(B) challenging the charge in court, by mail, or         by administrative hearing; and
(11) a website address, accessible through the     Internet, where the person may view the recorded images of the violation.
(e) (Blank).
(f) Based on inspection of recorded images produced by an
automated traffic law enforcement system, a notice alleging that the violation occurred shall be evidence of the facts contained
in the notice and admissible in any proceeding alleging a
violation under this Section.
(g) Recorded images made by an automatic traffic law
enforcement system are confidential and shall be made
available only to the alleged violator and governmental and
law enforcement agencies for purposes of adjudicating a
violation of this Section, for statistical purposes, or for other governmental purposes. Any recorded image evidencing a
violation of this Section, however, may be admissible in
any proceeding resulting from the issuance of the citation.
(h) The court or hearing officer may consider in defense of a violation:
(1) that the motor vehicle or registration plates or     digital registration plates of the motor vehicle were stolen before the violation occurred and not under the control of or in the possession of the owner or lessee at the time of the violation;
(1.5)   that the motor vehicle was hijacked before     the violation occurred and not under the control of or in the possession of the owner or lessee at the time of the violation;
(2) that the driver of the vehicle passed through the     intersection when the light was red either (i) in order to yield the right-of-way to an emergency vehicle or (ii) as part of a funeral procession; and
(3) any other evidence or issues provided by     municipal or county ordinance.
(i) To demonstrate that the motor vehicle was hijacked or the motor vehicle or registration
plates or digital registration plates were stolen before the violation occurred and were not under the
control or possession of the owner or lessee at the time of the violation, the
owner or lessee must submit proof that a report concerning the
motor vehicle or registration plates was filed with a law enforcement agency in a timely manner.
(j) Unless the driver of the motor vehicle received a Uniform
Traffic Citation from a police officer at the time of the violation,
the motor vehicle owner is subject to a civil penalty not exceeding
$100 or the completion of a traffic education program, or both, plus an additional penalty of not more than $100 for failure to pay the original penalty or to complete a required traffic education program, or both, in a timely manner, if the motor vehicle is recorded by an automated traffic law
enforcement system. A violation for which a civil penalty is imposed
under this Section is not a violation of a traffic regulation governing
the movement of vehicles and may not be recorded on the driving record
of the owner of the vehicle.
(j-3) A registered owner who is a holder of a valid commercial driver's license is not required to complete  a traffic education program.
(j-5) For purposes of the required traffic education program only, a registered owner may submit an affidavit to the court or hearing officer swearing that at the time of the alleged violation, the vehicle was in the custody and control of another person. The affidavit must identify the person in custody and control of the vehicle, including the person's name and current address. The person in custody and control of the vehicle at the time of the violation is required to complete the required traffic education program. If the person in custody and control of the vehicle at the time of the violation completes the required traffic education program, the registered owner of the vehicle is not required to complete a traffic education program.
(k) An intersection equipped with an automated traffic law
enforcement system must be posted with a sign visible to approaching traffic
indicating that the intersection is being monitored by an automated
traffic law enforcement system.
(k-3) A municipality or
county that has one or more intersections equipped with an automated traffic law
enforcement system must provide notice to drivers by posting the locations of automated traffic law systems on the municipality or county website.
(k-5) An intersection equipped with an automated traffic law
enforcement system must have a yellow change interval that conforms with the Illinois Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices (IMUTCD) published by the Illinois Department of Transportation.
(k-7) A municipality or county operating an automated traffic law enforcement system shall conduct a statistical analysis to assess the safety impact of each automated traffic law enforcement system at an intersection following installation of the system.  The statistical analysis shall be based upon the best available crash, traffic, and other data, and shall cover a period of time before and after installation of the system sufficient to provide a statistically valid comparison of safety impact.  The statistical analysis shall be consistent with professional judgment and acceptable industry practice.  The statistical analysis also shall be consistent with the data required for valid comparisons of before and after conditions and shall be conducted within a reasonable period following the installation of the automated traffic law enforcement system.  The statistical analysis required by this subsection (k-7) shall be made available to the public and shall be published on the website of the municipality or county. If the statistical analysis for the 36-month period following installation of the system indicates that there has been an increase in the rate of crashes at the approach to the intersection monitored by the system, the municipality or county shall undertake additional studies to determine the cause and severity of the crashes, and may take any action that it determines is necessary or appropriate to reduce the number or severity of the crashes at that intersection.
(l) The compensation paid for an automated traffic law enforcement system
must be based on the value of the equipment or the services provided and may
not be based on the number of traffic citations issued or the revenue generated
by the system.
(m) This Section applies only to the counties of Cook, DuPage, Kane, Lake, Madison, McHenry, St. Clair, and Will and to municipalities located within those counties.
(n) The fee for participating in a traffic education program under this Section shall not exceed $25.
A low-income individual required to complete a traffic education program under this Section who provides proof of eligibility for the federal earned income tax credit under Section 32 of the Internal Revenue Code or the Illinois earned income tax credit under Section 212 of the Illinois Income Tax Act shall not be required to pay any fee for participating in a required traffic education program.
(o) (Blank).
(p) No person who is the lessor of a motor vehicle pursuant to a written lease agreement shall be liable for an automated speed or traffic law enforcement system violation involving such motor vehicle during the period of the lease; provided that upon the request of the appropriate authority received within 120 days after the violation occurred, the lessor provides within 60 days after such receipt the name and address of the lessee.
Upon the provision of information by the lessor pursuant to this subsection, the county or municipality may issue the violation to the lessee of the vehicle in the same manner as it would issue a violation to a registered owner of a vehicle pursuant to this Section, and the lessee may be held liable for the violation.

Sec. 11-208.8. Automated speed enforcement systems in safety zones.
(a) As used in this Section:
"Automated speed enforcement
system" means a photographic device, radar device, laser device, or other electrical or mechanical device or devices installed or utilized  in a safety zone and  designed to record the speed of a vehicle and obtain a clear photograph or other recorded image of the vehicle and the vehicle's registration plate or digital registration plate while the driver is violating Article VI of Chapter 11  of this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance.
An automated speed enforcement system is a system, located in a safety zone which is under the jurisdiction of a municipality, that produces a recorded image of a motor vehicle's violation of a provision of this Code or a local ordinance and is designed to obtain a clear recorded image of the vehicle and the vehicle's license plate. The recorded image must also display the time, date, and location of the violation.
"Owner" means the person or entity to whom the vehicle is registered.
"Recorded image" means images
recorded by an automated speed enforcement system on:
(1) 2 or more photographs;
(2) 2 or more microphotographs;
(3) 2 or more electronic images; or
(4) a video recording showing the motor vehicle and,     on at least one image or portion of the recording, clearly identifying the registration plate or digital registration plate number of the motor vehicle.
"Safety zone" means an area that is within one-eighth of a mile from the nearest property line of any public or private elementary or secondary school, or from the nearest property line of any facility, area, or land owned by a school district that is used for educational purposes approved by the Illinois State Board of Education, not including school district headquarters or administrative buildings. A safety zone also includes an area that is within one-eighth of a mile from the nearest property line of any facility, area, or land owned by a park district used for recreational purposes. However, if any portion of a roadway is within either one-eighth mile radius, the safety zone also shall include the roadway extended to the furthest portion of the next furthest intersection. The term "safety zone" does not include any portion of the roadway known as Lake Shore Drive or any controlled access highway with 8 or more lanes of traffic.
(a-5) The automated speed enforcement system shall be operational and violations shall be recorded only at the following times:
(i) if the safety zone is based upon the property     line of any facility, area, or land owned by a school district, only on school days and no earlier than 6 a.m. and no later than 8:30 p.m. if the school day is during the period of Monday through Thursday, or 9 p.m. if the school day is a Friday; and
(ii) if the safety zone is based upon the property     line of any facility, area, or land owned by a park district, no earlier than one hour prior to the time that the facility, area, or land is open to the public or other patrons, and no later than one hour after the facility, area, or land is closed to the public or other patrons.
(b) A municipality that
produces a recorded image of a motor vehicle's
violation of a provision of this Code or a local ordinance must make the recorded images of a violation accessible to the alleged violator by providing the alleged violator with a website address, accessible through the Internet.
(c) Notwithstanding any penalties for any other violations of this Code, the owner of a motor vehicle used in a traffic violation recorded by an automated speed enforcement system shall be subject to the following penalties:
(1) if the recorded speed is no less than 6 miles per     hour and no more than 10 miles per hour over the legal speed limit, a civil penalty not exceeding $50, plus an additional penalty of not more than $50 for failure to pay the original penalty in a timely manner; or
(2) if the recorded speed is more than 10 miles per     hour over the legal speed limit, a civil penalty not exceeding $100, plus an additional penalty of not more than $100 for failure to pay the original penalty in a timely manner.
A penalty may not be imposed under this Section if the driver of the motor vehicle received a Uniform Traffic Citation from a police officer for a speeding violation occurring within one-eighth of a mile and 15 minutes of the violation that was recorded by the system.  A violation for which a civil penalty is imposed
under this Section is not a violation of a traffic regulation governing
the movement of vehicles and may not be recorded on the driving record
of the owner of the vehicle. A law enforcement officer is not required to be present or to witness the violation. No penalty may be imposed under this Section if the recorded speed of a vehicle is 5 miles per hour or less over the legal speed limit. The municipality may send, in the same manner that notices are sent under this Section, a speed violation warning notice where the violation involves a speed of 5 miles per hour or less  above the legal speed limit.
(d) The net proceeds that a municipality receives from civil penalties imposed under an automated speed enforcement system, after deducting all non-personnel and personnel costs associated with the operation and maintenance of such system, shall be expended or obligated by the municipality for the following purposes:
(i)    public safety initiatives to ensure safe     passage around schools, and to provide police protection and surveillance around schools and parks, including but not limited to:  (1)      personnel costs; and  (2)      non-personnel costs such as construction and maintenance of public safety infrastructure and equipment;
(ii)    initiatives to improve pedestrian and traffic     safety;
(iii)    construction and maintenance of     infrastructure within the municipality, including but not limited to roads and bridges; and
(iv) after school programs.
(e) For each violation of a provision of this Code or a local ordinance
recorded by an automated speed enforcement system, the municipality having
jurisdiction shall issue a written notice of the
violation to the registered owner of the vehicle as the alleged
violator. The notice shall be delivered to the registered
owner of the vehicle, by mail, within 30 days after the Secretary of State notifies the municipality of the identity of the owner of the vehicle, but in no event later than 90 days after the violation.
(f) The notice required under subsection (e) of this Section shall include:
(1) the name and address of the registered owner of     the vehicle;
(2) the registration number of the motor vehicle     involved in the violation;
(3) the violation charged;
(4) the date, time, and location where the violation     occurred;
(5) a copy of the recorded image or images;
(6) the amount of the civil penalty imposed and the     date by which the civil penalty should be paid;
(7) a statement that recorded images are evidence of     a violation of a speed restriction;
(8) a warning that failure to pay the civil penalty     or to contest liability in a timely manner is an admission of liability;
(9) a statement that the person may elect to proceed     by:
(A) paying the fine; or
(B) challenging the charge in court, by mail, or         by administrative hearing; and
(10) a website address, accessible through the          Internet, where the person may view the recorded images of the violation.
(g) (Blank).
(h) Based on inspection of recorded images produced by an
automated speed enforcement system, a notice alleging that the violation occurred shall be evidence of the facts contained
in the notice and admissible in any proceeding alleging a
violation under this Section.
(i) Recorded images made by an automated speed
enforcement system are confidential and shall be made
available only to the alleged violator and governmental and
law enforcement agencies for purposes of adjudicating a
violation of this Section, for statistical purposes, or for other governmental purposes. Any recorded image evidencing a
violation of this Section, however, may be admissible in
any proceeding resulting from the issuance of the citation.
(j) The court or hearing officer may consider in defense of a violation:
(1) that the motor vehicle or registration plates or     digital registration plates of the motor vehicle were stolen before the violation occurred and not under the control or in the possession of the owner or lessee at the time of the violation;
(1.5)    that the motor vehicle was hijacked before     the violation occurred and not under the control of or in the possession of the owner or lessee at the time of the violation;
(2) that the driver of the motor vehicle received a     Uniform Traffic Citation from a police officer for a speeding violation occurring within one-eighth of a mile and 15 minutes of the violation that was recorded by the system; and
(3) any other evidence or issues provided by     municipal ordinance.
(k) To demonstrate that the motor vehicle was hijacked or the motor vehicle or registration
plates or digital registration plates were stolen before the violation occurred and were not under the
control or possession of the owner or lessee at the time of the violation, the
owner or lessee must submit proof that a report concerning the
motor vehicle or registration plates was filed with a law enforcement agency in a timely manner.
(l) A roadway equipped with an automated speed enforcement system shall be posted with a sign  conforming to the national Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices that is visible to approaching traffic stating that vehicle speeds are being photo-enforced and indicating the speed limit. The municipality shall install such additional signage as it determines is necessary to give reasonable notice to drivers as to where automated speed enforcement systems are installed.
(m) A roadway where a new automated speed enforcement system is installed shall be posted with signs providing 30 days notice of the use of a new automated speed enforcement system prior to the issuance of any citations through the automated speed enforcement system.
(n) The compensation paid for an automated speed enforcement system
must be based on the value of the equipment or the services provided and may
not be based on the number of traffic citations issued or the revenue generated
by the system.
(n-1) No member of the General Assembly  and no officer or employee of a municipality or county shall knowingly accept employment or receive compensation or fees for services from a vendor that provides automated speed enforcement system equipment or services to municipalities or counties.  No former member of the General Assembly shall, within a period of 2 years immediately after the termination of service as a member of the General Assembly, knowingly accept employment or receive compensation or fees for services from a vendor that provides automated speed enforcement system equipment or services to municipalities or counties.

Each statistical analysis shall be based upon the best available crash, traffic, and other data, and shall cover a period of time before and after installation of the system sufficient to provide a statistically valid comparison of safety impact. Each statistical analysis shall be consistent with professional judgment and acceptable industry practice. Each statistical analysis also shall be consistent with the data required for valid comparisons of before and after conditions and shall be conducted within a reasonable period following the installation of the automated traffic law enforcement system. Each statistical analysis required by this subsection shall be made available to the public and shall be published on the website of the municipality.
(s) This Section applies only to municipalities with a population of 1,000,000 or more inhabitants.
(t) If a county or municipality selects a new vendor for its automated speed enforcement
system and must, as a consequence, apply for  a permit, approval, or other authorization from the Department for  reinstallation of one or more malfunctioning components of that system and if, at the time of the application for the permit, approval, or other authorization,  the new vendor operates an automated speed enforcement
system for any other county or municipality in the State, then the Department shall approve or deny the county or municipality's application for the permit, approval, or other authorization within 90 days after its receipt.
(u) The Department may  revoke any permit, approval, or  other authorization granted to a county or municipality for the placement, installation, or operation of an automated speed enforcement

(c) A municipality or
county that
produces a recorded image of a motor vehicle's
violation of a provision of this Code or a local ordinance must make the recorded images of a violation accessible to the alleged violator by providing the alleged violator with a website address, accessible through the Internet.
(d) For each violation of a provision of this Code or a local ordinance
recorded by an automated
traffic law enforcement system, the county or municipality having
jurisdiction shall issue a written notice of the
violation to the registered owner of the vehicle as the alleged
violator. The notice shall be delivered to the registered
owner of the vehicle, by mail, within 30 days after the Secretary of State notifies the municipality or county of the identity of the owner of the vehicle, but in no event later than 90 days after the violation.
(e) The notice required under subsection (d) shall include:
(1) the name and address of the registered owner of     the vehicle;
(2) the registration number of the motor vehicle     involved in the violation;
(3) the violation charged;
(4) the location where the violation occurred;
(5) the date and time of the violation;
(6) a copy of the recorded images;
(7) the amount of the civil penalty imposed and the     date by which the civil penalty should be paid;
(8) a statement that recorded images are evidence of     a violation of overtaking or passing a school bus stopped for the purpose of receiving or discharging pupils;
(9) a warning that failure to pay the civil penalty     or to contest liability in a timely manner is an admission of liability;
(10) a statement that the person may elect to proceed     by:
(A) paying the fine; or
(B) challenging the charge in court, by mail, or         by administrative hearing; and
(11) a website address, accessible through the     Internet, where the person may view the recorded images of the violation.
(f) (Blank).
(g) Based on inspection of recorded images produced by an
automated traffic law enforcement system, a notice alleging that the violation occurred shall be evidence of the facts contained
in the notice and admissible in any proceeding alleging a
violation under this Section.
(h) Recorded images made by an automated traffic law
enforcement system are confidential and shall be made
available only to the alleged violator and governmental and
law enforcement agencies for purposes of adjudicating a
violation of this Section, for statistical purposes, or for other governmental purposes. Any recorded image evidencing a
violation of this Section, however, may be admissible in
any proceeding resulting from the issuance of the citation.
(i) The court or hearing officer may consider in defense of a violation:
(1) that the motor vehicle or registration plates or     digital registration plates of the motor vehicle were stolen before the violation occurred and not under the control of or in the possession of the owner or lessee at the time of the violation;
(1.5)   that the motor vehicle was hijacked before     the violation occurred and not under the control of or in the possession of the owner or lessee at the time of the violation;
(2) that the driver of the motor vehicle received a     Uniform Traffic Citation from a police officer for a violation of Section 11-1414 of this Code within one-eighth of a mile and 15 minutes of the violation that was recorded by the system;
(3) that the visual signals required by Sections     12-803 and 12-805 of this Code were damaged, not activated, not present in violation of Sections 12-803 and 12-805, or inoperable; and
(4) any other evidence or issues provided by     municipal or county ordinance.
(j) To demonstrate that the motor vehicle was hijacked or the motor vehicle or registration
plates or digital registration plates were stolen before the violation occurred and were not under the
control or possession of the owner or lessee at the time of the violation, the
owner or lessee must submit proof that a report concerning the
motor vehicle or registration plates was filed with a law enforcement agency in a timely manner.
(k) Unless the driver of the motor vehicle received a Uniform
Traffic Citation from a police officer at the time of the violation,
the motor vehicle owner is subject to a civil penalty not exceeding
$150 for a first time violation or $500 for a second or subsequent violation, plus an additional penalty of not more than $100 for failure to pay the original penalty in a timely manner, if the motor vehicle is recorded by an automated traffic law
enforcement system. A violation for which a civil penalty is imposed
under this Section is not a violation of a traffic regulation governing
the movement of vehicles and may not be recorded on the driving record
of the owner of the vehicle, but may be recorded by the municipality or county for the purpose of determining if a person is subject to the higher fine for a second or subsequent offense.
(l) A school bus equipped with an automated traffic law
enforcement system must be posted with a sign indicating that the school bus is being monitored by an automated
traffic law enforcement system.
(m) A municipality or
county that has one or more school buses equipped with an automated traffic law
enforcement system must provide notice to drivers by posting a list of school districts using school buses equipped with an automated traffic law enforcement system on the municipality or county website. School districts that have one or more school buses equipped with an automated traffic law enforcement system must provide notice to drivers by posting that information on their websites.
(n) A municipality or county operating an automated traffic law enforcement system shall conduct a statistical analysis to assess the safety impact in each school district using school buses equipped with an automated traffic law enforcement system following installation of the system and every 2 years thereafter. A municipality or county operating an automated speed enforcement system before the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly shall conduct a statistical analysis to assess the safety impact of the system by no later than one year after the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 103rd General Assembly and every 2 years thereafter. Each statistical analysis shall be based upon the best available crash, traffic, and other data, and shall cover a period of time before and after installation of the system sufficient to provide a statistically valid comparison of safety impact. Each statistical analysis shall be consistent with professional judgment and acceptable industry practice. Each statistical analysis also shall be consistent with the data required for valid comparisons of before and after conditions and shall be conducted within a reasonable period following the installation of the automated traffic law enforcement system. Each statistical analysis required by this subsection shall be made available to the public and shall be published on the website of the municipality or county. If a statistical analysis indicates that there has been an increase in the rate of crashes at the approach to school buses monitored by the system, the municipality or county shall undertake additional studies to determine the cause and severity of the crashes, and may take any action that it determines is necessary or appropriate to reduce the number or severity of the crashes involving school buses equipped with an automated traffic law enforcement system.
(o) The compensation paid for an automated traffic law enforcement system
must be based on the value of the equipment or the services provided and may
not be based on the number of traffic citations issued or the revenue generated
by the system.
(o-1) No member of the General Assembly  and no officer or employee of a municipality or county shall knowingly accept employment or receive compensation or fees for services from a vendor that provides automated traffic law enforcement system equipment or services to municipalities or counties.  No former member of the General Assembly shall, within a period of 2 years immediately after the termination of service as a member of the General Assembly, knowingly accept employment or receive compensation or fees for services from a vendor that provides automated traffic law enforcement system equipment or services to municipalities or counties. No  former officer or employee of a municipality or county shall, within a period of 2 years immediately after the termination of municipal or county employment, knowingly accept employment or receive compensation or fees for services from a vendor that provides automated traffic law enforcement system equipment or services to municipalities or counties.
(p) No person who is the lessor of a motor vehicle pursuant to a written lease agreement shall be liable for an automated speed or traffic law enforcement system violation involving such motor vehicle during the period of the lease; provided that upon the request of the appropriate authority received within 120 days after the violation occurred, the lessor provides within 60 days after such receipt the name and address of the lessee.
Upon the provision of information by the lessor pursuant to this subsection, the county or municipality may issue the violation to the lessee of the vehicle in the same manner as it would issue a violation to a registered owner of a vehicle pursuant to this Section, and the lessee may be held liable for the violation.
(q) (Blank).
(r) After a municipality or county enacts an ordinance providing for automated traffic law enforcement systems under this Section, each school district within that municipality or county's jurisdiction may implement an automated traffic law enforcement system under this Section.  The elected school board for that district must approve the implementation of an automated traffic law enforcement system.  The  school district shall be responsible for entering into a contract, approved by the elected school board of that district, with vendors for the installation, maintenance, and operation of the automated traffic law enforcement system. The school district must enter into an intergovernmental agreement, approved by the elected school board of that district, with the municipality or county  with jurisdiction over that school district for the administration of the automated traffic law enforcement system. The proceeds  from  a school district's automated traffic law enforcement system's fines shall be divided equally between the school district and the municipality or county administering the automated traffic law enforcement system.
(s) If a county or municipality changes the vendor it uses for its automated traffic law enforcement
system and must, as a consequence, apply for  a permit, approval, or other authorization from the Department for  reinstallation of one or more malfunctioning components of that system and if, at the time of the application,  the new vendor operates an automated traffic law enforcement
system for any other county or municipality in the State, then the Department shall approve or deny the county or municipality's application for that permit, approval, or other authorization within 90 days after its receipt.
(t) The Department may  revoke any permit, approval, or  other authorization granted to a county or municipality for the placement, installation, or operation of an automated traffic law enforcement
system  if any official or employee who serves that county or municipality  is charged with bribery, official misconduct, or a similar crime related to the placement, installation, or operation  of the automated traffic law enforcement system in the county or municipality.
The Department  shall adopt any rules necessary to implement and administer this subsection. The rules adopted by the Department shall describe the revocation process, shall ensure that notice of the revocation is provided, and shall provide an opportunity to appeal the revocation. Any county or municipality that has a permit, approval, or  other authorization revoked under this subsection may not reapply for such a permit, approval, or  other authorization for a period of 1 year after the revocation.

		Powers of local authorities - enforcing the provisions
of this Code on private streets and roads. (a) Any person or board of
directors owning, operating or representing a residential subdivision,
development, apartment house or apartment project; containing a minimum of
10 apartments or single family residences may file a written request, with
the appropriate local authority wherein such property is situated,
requesting their law enforcement agency enforce the provisions of this Code
on all private streets or roads open to or used by the tenants, owners,
employees or the public for the purposes of vehicular traffic by permission
of such person or board of directors and not as a matter of public right.
Notwithstanding Section 1-126 and Section 1-201 of this Code, if the local
authority grants such request by the adoption of an enabling ordinance then
all such private streets or roads shall be considered "highways" only for
the enforcement purposes of this Code.
(b) All regulations adopted and traffic control devices employed by a
local authority in the enforcement of this Code on such streets or roads
within any private area, pursuant to this Section, shall be consistent
with the provisions of this Code and shall
conform to the Illinois Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices.
A local authority may require that any person who files a request for
the installation of traffic signs pay for the cost of such traffic signs.
Such traffic signs shall be in conformity with Section 11-604 of this Code.
(c) Any person or board of directors which has filed such a request
under this Section, may rescind that request by filing with the
appropriate local authority a written request for such rescission. Upon
receipt of the written request, the local authority shall subsequently
repeal the original enabling ordinance. Such repeal shall not take effect
until the first day of January following any such action by the local
authorities. However, no such rescission request may be filed within 12
months of the date of the original written request.
(d) The filing of a written request or the adoption of the
enabling ordinance under this Section in no way constitutes
a dedication to public use of any street, road, driveway, trail,
terrace, bridle path, parkway, parking area, or other roadway open to
or used by vehicular traffic, nor does it prevent such person or
board of directors, as owners of such property, from requiring
additional regulations than those specified by the local authorities or
otherwise regulating such use as may seem best to such person or board of
directors as long as they do not conflict with the powers granted to local
authorities under Section 11-208 of this Code.
(e) This amendatory act of 1972 is not a prohibition upon the
contractual and associational powers granted by Article VII, Section 10 of

Sec. 11-306. Traffic-control signal legend. Whenever traffic is controlled
by traffic-control signals exhibiting different colored lights or color
lighted arrows, successively one at a time or in combination, only the
colors green, red and yellow shall be used, except for special pedestrian
signals carrying a word legend, and the lights shall indicate and apply to
drivers of vehicles and pedestrians as follows:
(a) Green indication.
1. Vehicular traffic facing a circular green signal     may proceed straight through or turn right or left unless a sign at such place prohibits either such turn.  Vehicular traffic, including vehicles turning right or left, shall yield the right of way to other vehicles and to pedestrians lawfully within the intersection or an adjacent crosswalk at the time such signal is exhibited.
2. Vehicular traffic facing a green arrow signal,     shown alone or in combination with another indication, may cautiously enter the intersection only to make the movement indicated by such arrow, or such other movement as is permitted by other indications shown at the same time.  Such vehicular traffic shall yield the right of way to pedestrians lawfully within an adjacent crosswalk and to other traffic lawfully using the intersection.
3. Unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian-control     signal, as provided in Section 11-307, pedestrians facing any green signal, except when the sole green signal is a turn arrow, may proceed across the roadway within any marked or unmarked crosswalk.
(b) Steady yellow indication.
1. Vehicular traffic facing a steady circular yellow     or yellow arrow signal is thereby warned that the related green movement is being terminated or that a red indication will be exhibited immediately thereafter.
2. Pedestrians facing a steady circular yellow or     yellow arrow signal, unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian-control signal as provided in Section 11-307, are thereby advised that there is insufficient time to cross the roadway before a red indication is shown and no pedestrian shall then start to cross the roadway.
(b-5) Flashing yellow arrow indication.
1. Vehicular traffic facing a flashing yellow arrow     indication may cautiously enter the intersection only to make the movement indicated by the arrow and shall yield the right-of-way to other vehicles and pedestrians lawfully within the intersection or an adjacent crosswalk at the time the signal is exhibited.
2. Pedestrians facing a flashing yellow arrow     indication, unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian-control signal as provided in Section 11-307, may proceed across the roadway within any marked or unmarked crosswalk that crosses the lane or lanes used to depart the intersection by traffic controlled by the flashing yellow arrow indication. Pedestrians shall yield the right-of-way to vehicles lawfully within the intersection at the time that the flashing yellow signal indication is first displayed.
(c) Steady red indication.
1. Except as provided in paragraphs 3 and 3.5 of this     subsection (c), vehicular traffic facing a steady circular red signal alone shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if there is no such stop line, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or if there is no such crosswalk, then before entering the intersection, and shall remain standing until an indication to proceed is shown.
2. Except as provided in paragraphs 3 and 3.5 of this     subsection (c), vehicular traffic facing a steady red arrow signal shall not enter the intersection to make the movement indicated by the arrow and, unless entering the intersection to make a movement permitted by another signal, shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if there is no such stop line, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or if there is no such crosswalk, then before entering the intersection, and shall remain standing until an indication permitting the movement indicated by such red arrow is shown.
3. Except when a sign is in place prohibiting a turn     and local authorities by ordinance or State authorities by rule or regulation prohibit any such turn, vehicular traffic facing any steady red signal may cautiously enter the intersection to turn right, or to turn left from a one-way street into a one-way street, after stopping as required by paragraph 1 or paragraph 2 of this subsection. After stopping, the driver shall yield the right of way to any vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another roadway so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time such driver is moving across or within the intersection or junction or roadways.  Such driver shall yield the right of way to pedestrians within the intersection or an adjacent crosswalk.
3.5. In municipalities with less than 2,000,000     inhabitants, after stopping as required by paragraph 1 or 2 of this subsection, the driver of a motorcycle or bicycle, facing a steady red signal which fails to change to a green signal within a reasonable period of time not less than 120 seconds because of a signal malfunction or because the signal has failed to detect the arrival of the motorcycle or bicycle due to the vehicle's size or weight, shall have the right to proceed, after yielding the right of way to oncoming traffic facing a green signal, subject to the rules applicable after making a stop at a stop sign as required by Section 11-1204 of this Code.
4. Unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian-control     signal as provided in Section 11-307, pedestrians facing a steady circular red or red arrow signal alone shall not enter the roadway.
(d) In the event an official traffic control signal is
erected and maintained
at a place other than an intersection, the provisions of this Section shall
be applicable except as to provisions which by their nature can have no
application.  Any stop required shall be at a traffic sign or a marking
on the pavement indicating where the stop shall be made or, in the absence
of such sign or marking, the stop shall be made at the signal.
(e) The motorman of any streetcar shall obey the above signals as applicable
to vehicles.

intermittent flashes, drivers of vehicles shall stop at a clearly marked
stop line, but if none, before entering the cross walk on the near side of
the intersection, or if none, then at a point nearest the intersecting
roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the
intersecting roadway before entering the intersection and the right to
proceed shall be subject to the rules applicable after making a stop at a
stop sign.
2. Flashing yellow (caution signal). When a yellow lens is illuminated
with rapid intermittent flashes, drivers of vehicles may proceed through

(a-5) Law enforcement officials may use validated roadside chemical tests or standardized field sobriety tests approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration when conducting investigations of a violation of Section 11-501 or similar local ordinance by drivers suspected of driving under the influence of cannabis.  The General Assembly finds that (i) validated roadside chemical tests are effective means to determine if a person is under the influence of cannabis and (ii) standardized field sobriety tests approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration are divided attention tasks that are intended to determine if a person is under the influence of cannabis.  The purpose of these tests is to determine the effect of the use of cannabis on a person's capacity to think and act with ordinary care and therefore operate a motor vehicle safely.  Therefore, the results of these validated roadside chemical tests and standardized field sobriety tests, appropriately administered, shall be admissible in the trial of any civil or criminal action or proceeding arising out of an arrest for a cannabis-related offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a similar local ordinance or proceedings under Section 2-118.1 or 2-118.2. Where a  test is made the following provisions shall apply:
1. The person tested may have a physician, or a     qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other qualified person of their own choosing administer a chemical test or tests in addition to the standardized field sobriety test or tests administered at the direction of a law enforcement officer. The failure or inability to obtain an additional test by a person does not preclude the admission of evidence relating to the test or tests taken at the direction of a law enforcement officer.
2. Upon the request of the person who shall submit to     validated roadside chemical tests or a standardized field sobriety test or tests at the request of a law enforcement officer, full information concerning the test or tests shall be made available to the person or the person's attorney.
3. At the trial of any civil or criminal action or     proceeding arising out of an arrest for an offense as defined in Section 11-501 or a similar local ordinance or proceedings under Section 2-118.1 or 2-118.2 in which the results of these validated roadside chemical tests or standardized field sobriety tests are admitted, the person may present and the trier of fact may consider evidence that the person lacked the physical capacity to perform the validated roadside chemical tests or standardized field sobriety tests.
(b) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or proceeding arising
out of acts alleged to have been committed by any person while driving or
in actual physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol,
the concentration of alcohol in the person's blood or breath at the time
alleged as shown by analysis of the person's blood, urine, breath, or other
bodily substance shall give rise to the following presumptions:
1. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration     of 0.05 or less, it shall be presumed that the person was not under the influence of alcohol.
2. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration     in excess of 0.05 but less than 0.08, such facts shall not give rise to any presumption that the person was or was not under the influence of alcohol, but such fact may be considered with other competent evidence in determining whether the person was under the influence of alcohol.
3. If there was at that time an alcohol concentration     of 0.08 or more, it shall be presumed that the person was under the influence of alcohol.
4. The foregoing provisions of this Section shall not     be construed as limiting the introduction of any other relevant evidence bearing upon the question whether the person was under the influence of alcohol.
(b-5) Upon the trial of any civil or criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts alleged to have been committed by any person while driving or in actual physical control of a vehicle while under the influence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, intoxicating compound or compounds or any combination thereof, the concentration of cannabis in the person's whole blood or other bodily substance at the time alleged as shown by analysis of the person's blood or other bodily substance shall give rise to the following presumptions:
1. If there was a tetrahydrocannabinol concentration     of 5 nanograms or more in whole blood or 10 nanograms or more in an other bodily substance as defined in this Section, it shall be presumed that the person was under the influence of cannabis.
2. If there was at that time a tetrahydrocannabinol     concentration of less than 5 nanograms in whole blood or less than 10 nanograms in an other bodily substance, such facts shall not give rise to any presumption that the person was or was not under the influence of cannabis, but such fact may be considered with other competent evidence in determining whether the person was under the influence of cannabis.
(c) 1. If a person under arrest refuses to submit to a chemical test
under
the provisions of Section 11-501.1, evidence of refusal shall be admissible
in any civil or criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts alleged
to have been committed while the person under the influence of alcohol,
other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds, or
any combination thereof was driving or in actual physical
control of a motor vehicle.
2. Notwithstanding any ability to refuse under this Code to submit to
these tests or any ability to revoke the implied consent to these tests, if a
law enforcement officer has probable cause to believe that a motor vehicle
driven by or in actual physical control of a person under the influence of
alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or
compounds,
or any combination thereof
has caused the death or
personal injury to another, the law enforcement officer shall request, and that person shall submit, upon the request of a law
enforcement officer, to a chemical test or tests of his or her blood, breath,  other bodily substance, or
urine for the purpose of
determining the alcohol content thereof or the presence of any other drug or
combination of both.
This provision does not affect the applicability of or imposition of driver's
license sanctions under Section 11-501.1 of this Code.
3. For purposes of this Section, a personal injury includes any Type A
injury as indicated on the traffic crash report completed by a law
enforcement officer that requires immediate professional attention in either a
doctor's office or a medical facility.  A Type A injury includes severe
bleeding wounds, distorted extremities, and injuries that require the injured
party to be carried from the scene.
(d)    If a person refuses validated roadside chemical tests or standardized field sobriety tests under Section 11-501.9 of this Code, evidence of refusal shall be admissible in any civil or criminal action or proceeding arising out of acts committed while the person was driving or in actual physical control of a vehicle and alleged to have been impaired by the use of cannabis.
(e)  Illinois State Police compliance with the changes in this amendatory Act of the 99th General Assembly concerning testing of other bodily substances and tetrahydrocannabinol concentration by Illinois State Police laboratories is subject to appropriation and until the Illinois State Police adopt standards and completion validation. Any laboratories that test for the presence of cannabis or other drugs under this Article, the Snowmobile Registration and Safety Act, or the  Boat Registration and Safety Act must comply with ISO/IEC 17025:2005.

Code of 1961 or the Criminal Code of 2012, when each of the following criteria are met:
(1) the chemical tests performed upon an individual's     blood,  other bodily substance, or urine were ordered in the regular course of providing emergency medical treatment and not at the request of law enforcement authorities;
(2) the chemical tests performed upon an individual's     blood,  other bodily substance, or urine were performed by the laboratory routinely used by the hospital; and
(3) results of chemical tests performed upon an     individual's blood,  other bodily substance, or urine are admissible into evidence regardless of the time that the records were prepared.
(b) The confidentiality provisions of law pertaining to medical records
and medical treatment shall not be applicable with regard to chemical tests
performed upon an individual's blood,  other bodily substance, or urine under the provisions of this Section in
prosecutions as specified in subsection (a) of this Section.  No person shall
be liable for civil damages as a result of the evidentiary use of chemical

Sec. 11-501.5. Preliminary Breath Screening Test.
(a) If a law enforcement officer has reasonable suspicion to believe
that a person is
violating or has violated Section 11-501 or a similar provision of a local
ordinance, the officer, prior to an arrest, may request the person to
provide a sample of his or her breath for a preliminary breath screening
test using a portable device approved by the Illinois State Police.
The person may refuse the test.
The results of this preliminary breath screening test may be used by the
law enforcement officer for the purpose of assisting with the determination
of whether to require a chemical test as authorized under Sections 11-501.1
and 11-501.2, and the appropriate type of test to request.  Any chemical
test authorized under Sections 11-501.1 and 11-501.2 may be requested by
the officer regardless of the result of the preliminary breath screening
test, if probable cause for an arrest exists.  The result of a preliminary
breath screening test may be used by the defendant as evidence in any
administrative or court proceeding involving a violation of Section 11-501 or

(b) The Illinois State Police shall create a pilot program to
establish
the effectiveness of pupillometer technology (the measurement of the pupil's
reaction to light) as a noninvasive technique to detect and measure possible
impairment of any person who drives or is in actual physical control of a motor
vehicle resulting from the suspected usage of alcohol, other drug or drugs,
intoxicating compound or compounds or any combination thereof.  This technology
shall also be used to detect fatigue levels of the operator of a Commercial
Motor Vehicle as defined in Section 6-500(6), pursuant to Section 18b-105
(Part 395-Hours of Service of Drivers) of the Illinois Vehicle Code.
A State Police officer may request that the operator of a commercial motor
vehicle have his or her eyes examined or tested with a pupillometer device.
The person may refuse the examination or test.  The State Police officer shall
have the device readily available to limit undue delays.
If a State Police officer has reasonable suspicion to believe that a
person is violating or has violated Section 11-501, the officer may use the
pupillometer technology, when available.  The officer, prior to an arrest, may
request the person to have his or her eyes examined or tested with a
pupillometer device.  The person may refuse the examination or test.  The
results of this examination or test may be used by
the officer for the purpose of assisting with the determination of whether to
require a chemical test as authorized under Sections 11-501.1 and 11-501.2 and
the appropriate type of test to request.  Any chemical test authorized under
Sections 11-501.1 and 11-501.2 may be requested by the officer regardless of
the result of the pupillometer examination or test, if probable cause for an
arrest exists. The result of the examination or test may be used by the
defendant as evidence in any administrative or court proceeding involving a
violation of 11-501 or 11-501.1.
The pilot program shall last for a period of 18 months and involve the
testing of 15 pupillometer devices.  Within 90 days of the completion of the
pilot project, the Illinois State Police shall file a report with the
President of the Senate and Speaker of the House evaluating the project.

Sec. 11-501.6. Driver involvement in personal injury or fatal motor
vehicle crash; chemical test.
(a) Any person who drives or is in actual control of a motor vehicle
upon the public highways of this State and who has been involved in a
personal injury or fatal motor vehicle crash, shall be deemed to have
given consent to a breath test using a portable device as approved by the
Illinois State Police or to a chemical test or tests
of blood, breath, other bodily substance, or
urine for the purpose of determining the content of alcohol,
other
drug or drugs, or intoxicating compound or compounds of such
person's blood if arrested as evidenced by the issuance of a Uniform Traffic
Ticket for any violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision of
a local ordinance, with the exception of equipment violations contained in
Chapter 12 of this Code, or similar provisions of local ordinances.  The test
or tests shall be administered at the direction of the arresting officer.  The
law enforcement agency employing the officer shall designate which of the
aforesaid tests shall be administered.  Up to 2 additional tests of urine or other bodily substance may be administered even
after a blood or breath test or both has been administered.  Compliance with
this Section does not relieve such person from the requirements of Section
11-501.1 of this Code.
(b) Any person who is dead, unconscious or who is otherwise in a
condition rendering such person incapable of refusal shall be deemed not to
have withdrawn the consent provided by subsection (a) of this Section.  In
addition, if a driver of a vehicle is receiving medical treatment as a
result of a motor vehicle crash, any physician licensed to practice
medicine, licensed physician assistant, licensed advanced practice registered nurse, registered nurse or a phlebotomist acting under the direction of
a licensed physician shall withdraw blood for testing purposes to ascertain
the presence of alcohol, other drug or drugs, or intoxicating
compound or compounds, upon the specific request of a law
enforcement officer. However, no such testing shall be performed until, in
the opinion of the medical personnel on scene, the withdrawal can be made
without interfering with or endangering the well-being of the patient.
(c) A person requested to submit to a test as provided above shall be
warned by the law enforcement officer requesting the test that a refusal to
submit to the test, or submission to the test resulting in an alcohol
concentration of 0.08 or more, or testing discloses the presence of cannabis as listed in the Cannabis Control Act with a tetrahydrocannabinol concentration as defined in paragraph 6 of subsection (a) of Section 11-501.2 of this Code, or any amount of a drug, substance,
or intoxicating compound
resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of a controlled substance listed in the Illinois
Controlled Substances Act, an intoxicating compound listed in the Use of
Intoxicating Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as listed in the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act as detected in such person's blood,  other bodily substance, or urine, may
result in the suspension of such person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle. If the person is also a CDL holder, he or she shall be
warned by the law enforcement officer requesting the test that a refusal to
submit to the test, or submission to the test resulting in an alcohol
concentration of 0.08 or more, or any amount of a drug, substance,
or intoxicating compound
resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of cannabis, as covered by the
Cannabis Control Act, a controlled substance listed in the Illinois
Controlled Substances Act, an intoxicating compound listed in the Use of
Intoxicating Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as listed in the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act as detected in the person's blood,  other bodily substance, or urine, may result in the disqualification of the person's privilege to operate a commercial motor vehicle, as provided in Section 6-514 of this Code.
The length of the suspension shall be the same as outlined in Section
6-208.1 of this Code regarding statutory summary suspensions.
A person requested to submit to a test shall also acknowledge, in writing, receipt of the warning required under this Section.  If the person refuses to acknowledge receipt of the warning, the law enforcement officer shall make a written notation on the warning that the person refused to sign the warning.  A person's refusal to sign the warning shall not be evidence that the person was not read the warning.
(d) If the person refuses testing or submits to a test which discloses
an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more, the presence of cannabis as listed in the Cannabis Control Act with a tetrahydrocannabinol concentration as defined in paragraph 6 of subsection (a) of Section 11-501.2 of this Code, or any amount of a drug,
substance,
or intoxicating compound in such person's blood or urine resulting from the
unlawful use or
consumption of a controlled
substance listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, an
intoxicating
compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as listed in the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, the law
enforcement officer shall immediately submit a sworn report to the Secretary of
State on a form prescribed by the Secretary, certifying that the test or tests
were requested under subsection (a) and the person refused to submit to a
test or tests or submitted to testing which disclosed an alcohol concentration
of 0.08 or more, the presence of cannabis as listed in the Cannabis Control Act with a tetrahydrocannabinol concentration as defined in paragraph 6 of subsection (a) of Section 11-501.2 of this Code, or any amount of a drug, substance, or intoxicating
compound
in such
person's blood,  other bodily substance, or urine, resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of
 a controlled substance
listed in
the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,
an intoxicating compound listed in
the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as listed in the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act. If the person is also a CDL holder and refuses testing or submits to a test which discloses
an alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more, or any amount of a drug,
substance,
or intoxicating compound in the person's blood, other bodily substance, or urine resulting from the
unlawful use or
consumption of cannabis listed in the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled
substance listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act, an
intoxicating
compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as listed in the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, the law
enforcement officer shall immediately submit a sworn report to the Secretary of
State on a form prescribed by the Secretary, certifying that the test or tests
were requested under subsection (a) and the person refused to submit to a
test or tests or submitted to testing which disclosed an alcohol concentration
of 0.08 or more, or any amount of a drug, substance, or intoxicating
compound
in such
person's blood, other bodily substance, or urine, resulting from the unlawful use or consumption of
cannabis listed in the Cannabis Control Act, a controlled substance
listed in
the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,
an intoxicating compound listed in
the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as listed in the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act.
Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement officer, the
Secretary shall enter the suspension and disqualification to the individual's driving record and the
suspension and disqualification shall be effective on the 46th day following the date notice of the
suspension was given to the person.
The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn report shall serve immediate
notice of this suspension on the person and such suspension and disqualification shall be effective
on the 46th day following the date notice was given.
In cases involving a person who is not a CDL holder where the blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more,
or blood testing discloses the presence of cannabis as listed in the Cannabis Control Act with a tetrahydrocannabinol concentration as defined in paragraph 6 of subsection (a) of Section 11-501.2 of this Code, or any amount
of a drug, substance, or intoxicating compound resulting from the unlawful
use or
consumption of a
controlled
substance listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,
an
intoxicating
compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as listed in the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, is established by a
subsequent analysis of blood,  other bodily substance, or urine collected at the time of arrest, the
arresting officer shall give notice as provided in this Section or by deposit
in the United States mail of such notice in an envelope with postage prepaid
and addressed to such person at his or her address as shown on the Uniform Traffic
Ticket and the suspension shall be effective on the 46th day following the date
notice was given.
In cases involving a person who is a CDL holder where the blood alcohol concentration of 0.08 or more,
or any amount
of a drug, substance, or intoxicating compound resulting from the unlawful
use or
consumption of cannabis as listed in the Cannabis Control Act, a
controlled
substance listed in the Illinois Controlled Substances Act,
an
intoxicating
compound listed in the Use of Intoxicating Compounds Act, or methamphetamine as listed in the Methamphetamine Control and Community Protection Act, is established by a
subsequent analysis of blood, other bodily substance, or urine collected at the time of arrest, the
arresting officer shall give notice as provided in this Section or by deposit
in the United States mail of such notice in an envelope with postage prepaid
and addressed to the person at his or her address as shown on the Uniform Traffic
Ticket and the suspension and disqualification shall be effective on the 46th day following the date
notice was given.
Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement officer, the Secretary
shall also give notice of the suspension and disqualification to the driver by mailing a notice of
the effective date of the suspension and disqualification to the individual.  However, should the
sworn report be defective by not containing sufficient information or be
completed in error, the notice of the suspension and disqualification shall not be mailed to the
person or entered to the driving record, but rather the sworn report shall be
returned to the issuing law enforcement agency.
(e) A driver may contest this suspension of his or her
driving privileges and disqualification of his or her  CDL privileges by
requesting an administrative hearing with the Secretary in accordance with
Section 2-118 of this Code.  At the conclusion of a hearing held under
Section 2-118 of this Code, the Secretary may rescind, continue, or modify the
orders

of suspension and disqualification.  If the Secretary does not rescind the orders of suspension and disqualification, a restricted
driving permit may be granted by the Secretary upon application being made and
good cause shown.  A restricted driving permit may be granted to relieve undue
hardship to allow driving for employment, educational, and medical purposes as
outlined in Section 6-206 of this Code.  The provisions of Section 6-206 of
this Code shall apply. In accordance with 49 C.F.R. 384, the Secretary of State may not issue a restricted driving permit for the operation of a commercial motor vehicle to a person holding a CDL whose driving privileges have been suspended, revoked, cancelled, or disqualified.
(f) (Blank).

This limitation does not apply to the taking of breath,  other bodily substance, or urine specimens.
(iii) The person tested may have a physician,     qualified technician, chemist, registered nurse, or other qualified person of his or her own choosing administer a chemical test or tests in addition to any test or tests administered at the direction of a law enforcement officer.  The failure or inability to obtain an additional test by a person shall not preclude the consideration of the previously performed chemical test.
(iv) Upon a request of the person who submits to a     chemical test or tests at the request of a law enforcement officer, full information concerning the test or tests shall be made available to the person or that person's attorney.
(v) Alcohol concentration means either grams of     alcohol per 100 milliliters of blood or grams of alcohol per 210 liters of breath.
(vi) If a driver is receiving medical treatment as a     result of a motor vehicle crashes, a physician licensed to practice medicine, licensed physician assistant, licensed advanced practice registered nurse, registered nurse, or other qualified person trained in venipuncture and acting under the direction of a licensed physician shall withdraw blood for testing purposes to ascertain the presence of alcohol upon the specific request of a law enforcement officer.  However, that testing shall not be performed until, in the opinion of the medical personnel on scene, the withdrawal can be made without interfering with or endangering the well-being of the patient.
(c) A person requested to submit to a test as provided above shall be warned
by the law enforcement officer requesting the test that a refusal to submit  to
the test, or submission to the test resulting in an alcohol concentration of
more than 0.00, may  result in the loss of that person's privilege to operate a
motor vehicle and may result in the disqualification of the person's privilege to operate a commercial motor vehicle, as provided in Section 6-514 of this Code, if the person is a CDL holder.  The loss of driving privileges shall be imposed in accordance
with Section 6-208.2 of this Code.
A person requested to submit to a test shall also acknowledge, in writing, receipt of the warning required under this Section. If the person refuses to acknowledge receipt of the warning, the law enforcement officer shall make a written notation on the warning that the person refused to sign the warning.  A person's refusal to sign the warning shall not be evidence that the person was not read the warning.
(d) If the person refuses testing or submits to a test that discloses an
alcohol concentration of more than 0.00, the law enforcement officer shall
immediately submit a sworn report to the Secretary of State on a form
prescribed by the Secretary of State, certifying that the test or tests were
requested under subsection (a) and the person refused to submit to a test
or tests or submitted to testing which disclosed an alcohol concentration of
more than 0.00.  The law enforcement officer shall submit the same sworn report
when a person under the age of 21 submits to testing under Section
11-501.1 of this Code and the testing discloses an alcohol concentration of
more than 0.00 and less than 0.08.
Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement officer, the Secretary
of State shall enter the suspension and disqualification on the individual's driving
record and the suspension and disqualification shall be effective on the 46th day following the date
notice of the suspension was given to the person.  If this suspension is the
individual's first driver's license suspension under this Section, reports
received by the Secretary of State under this Section shall, except during the
time the suspension is in effect, be privileged information and for use only by
the courts, police officers, prosecuting authorities, the Secretary of State,
or the individual personally, unless the person is a CDL holder, is operating a commercial motor vehicle or vehicle required to be placarded for hazardous materials, in which case the suspension shall not be privileged.
Reports received by the Secretary of State under this Section shall also be made available to the parent or guardian of a person under the age of 18 years that holds an instruction permit or a graduated driver's license, regardless of whether the suspension is in effect.
The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn report shall serve immediate
notice of this suspension on the person and the suspension and disqualification shall
be effective on the 46th day following the date notice was given.
In cases where the blood alcohol concentration of more than 0.00 is
established by a subsequent analysis of blood,  other bodily substance, or urine, the  police officer or
arresting agency shall give notice as provided in this Section   or by deposit
in the United States mail of that notice in an envelope with postage prepaid
and addressed to that person at his last known address and the loss of driving
privileges shall be effective on the 46th day following the date notice was
given.
Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement officer, the Secretary
of State shall also give notice of the suspension and disqualification to the driver
by mailing a notice of the effective date of the suspension and disqualification to the individual.
However, should the sworn report be defective by not containing sufficient
information or be completed in error, the notice of the suspension and disqualification shall not be mailed to the person or entered to the driving record,
but rather the sworn report shall be returned to the issuing law enforcement
agency.
(e) A driver may contest this suspension and disqualification by requesting an
administrative hearing with the Secretary of State in accordance with Section
2-118 of this Code.  An individual whose blood alcohol concentration is shown
to be more than 0.00 is not subject to this Section if he or she consumed
alcohol in the performance of a religious service or ceremony. An individual
whose blood alcohol concentration is shown to be more than 0.00 shall not be
subject to this Section if the individual's blood alcohol concentration
resulted only from ingestion of the prescribed or recommended dosage of
medicine that contained alcohol. The petition for that hearing shall not stay
or delay the effective date of the impending suspension.  The scope of this
hearing shall be limited to the issues of:
(1) whether the police officer had probable cause to     believe that the person was driving or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle upon the public highways of the State and the police officer had reason to believe that the person was in violation of any provision of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance; and
(2) whether the person was issued a Uniform Traffic     Ticket for any violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance; and
(3) whether the police officer had probable cause to     believe that the driver had consumed any amount of an alcoholic beverage based upon the driver's physical actions or other first-hand knowledge of the police officer; and
(4) whether the person, after being advised by the     officer that the privilege to operate a motor vehicle would be suspended if the person refused to submit to and complete the test or tests, did refuse to submit to or complete the test or tests to determine the person's alcohol concentration; and
(5) whether the person, after being advised by the     officer that the privileges to operate a motor vehicle would be suspended if the person submits to a chemical test or tests and the test or tests disclose an alcohol concentration of more than 0.00, did submit to and complete the test or tests that determined an alcohol concentration of more than 0.00; and
(6) whether the test result of an alcohol     concentration of more than 0.00 was based upon the person's consumption of alcohol in the performance of a religious service or ceremony; and
(7) whether the test result of an alcohol     concentration of more than 0.00 was based upon the person's consumption of alcohol through ingestion of the prescribed or recommended dosage of medicine.
At the conclusion of the hearing held under Section 2-118 of
this Code, the Secretary of State may rescind, continue, or modify the suspension and disqualification.  If the Secretary of State does not rescind the suspension and disqualification, a
restricted driving permit may be granted by the Secretary of State upon
application being made and good cause shown. A restricted driving permit may be
granted to relieve undue hardship by allowing driving for employment,
educational, and medical purposes as outlined in item (3) of part (c) of
Section 6-206 of this Code.  The provisions of item (3) of part (c) of Section
6-206 of this Code and of subsection (f) of that Section shall apply.  The Secretary of State shall promulgate rules
providing for participation in an alcohol education and awareness program or
activity, a drug education and awareness program or activity, or both as a
condition to the issuance of a restricted driving permit for suspensions
imposed under this Section.
(f) The results of any chemical testing performed in accordance with
subsection (a) of this Section are not admissible in any civil or criminal
proceeding, except that the results of the testing may be considered at a
hearing held under Section 2-118 of this Code.  However, the results of
the testing may not be used to impose driver's license sanctions under
Section 11-501.1 of this Code.  A law enforcement officer may, however, pursue
a statutory summary suspension or revocation  of driving privileges under Section 11-501.1 of
this Code if other physical evidence or first hand knowledge forms the basis
of that suspension or revocation.
(g) This Section applies only to drivers who are under
age 21 at the time of the issuance of a Uniform Traffic Ticket for a
violation of the Illinois Vehicle Code or a similar provision of a local
ordinance, and a chemical test request is made under this Section.
(h) The action of the Secretary of State in suspending, revoking, cancelling, or
disqualifying any license or

permit shall be
subject to judicial review in the Circuit Court of Sangamon County or in the
Circuit Court of Cook County, and the provisions of the Administrative Review
Law and its rules are hereby adopted and shall apply to and govern every action
for the judicial review of final acts or decisions of the Secretary of State
under this Section.

(625 ILCS 5/11-501.9)
Sec. 11-501.9. Suspension of driver's license; failure or refusal of validated roadside chemical tests; failure or refusal of field sobriety tests; implied consent.
(a)   A person  who drives or is in actual physical control of a motor vehicle upon the public highways of this State shall be deemed to have given consent to (i) validated roadside chemical tests or (ii) standardized field sobriety tests approved by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, under subsection (a-5) of Section 11-501.2 of this Code, if detained by a law enforcement officer who has a reasonable suspicion that the person is driving or is in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while impaired by the use of cannabis.  The law enforcement officer must have an independent, cannabis-related factual basis giving reasonable suspicion that the person is driving or in actual physical control of a motor vehicle while impaired by the use of cannabis for conducting validated roadside chemical tests or standardized field sobriety tests, which shall be included with the results of the validated roadside chemical tests and field sobriety tests in any report made by the law enforcement officer who requests the test.  The person's possession of a registry identification card issued under the Compassionate Use of Medical Cannabis Program Act alone is not a sufficient basis for reasonable suspicion.
For purposes of this Section, a law enforcement officer of this State who is investigating a person for an offense under Section 11-501 of this Code may travel into an adjoining state where the person has been transported for medical care to complete an investigation and to request that the person submit to field sobriety tests under this Section.
(b)     A person who is unconscious, or otherwise in a condition rendering the person incapable of refusal, shall be deemed to have withdrawn the consent provided by subsection  (a) of this Section.
(c) A person requested to submit to validated roadside chemical tests or field sobriety tests, as provided in this Section, shall be warned by the law enforcement officer requesting the field sobriety tests that a refusal to submit to the validated roadside chemical tests or field sobriety tests will result in the suspension of the person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle, as provided in subsection (f) of this Section. The person shall also be warned by the law enforcement officer that if the person submits to validated roadside chemical tests or field sobriety tests as provided in this Section which disclose the person is impaired by the use of cannabis, a suspension of the person's privilege to operate a motor vehicle, as provided in subsection (f) of this Section, will be imposed.
(d)    The results of validated roadside chemical tests or field sobriety tests administered under this Section shall be admissible in a civil or criminal action or proceeding arising from an arrest for an offense as defined in Section 11-501 of this Code or a similar provision of a local ordinance. These test results shall be admissible only in actions or proceedings directly related to the incident upon which the test request was made.
(e)     If the person refuses validated roadside chemical tests or field sobriety tests or submits to validated roadside chemical tests or field sobriety tests that disclose the person is impaired by the use of cannabis, the law enforcement officer shall immediately submit a sworn report to the circuit court of venue and the Secretary of State certifying that testing was requested under this Section and that the person refused to submit to validated roadside chemical tests or field sobriety tests or submitted to validated roadside chemical tests or field sobriety tests that disclosed the person was impaired by the use of cannabis. The sworn report must include the law enforcement officer's factual basis for reasonable suspicion that the person was impaired by the use of cannabis.
(f)   Upon receipt of the sworn report of a law enforcement officer submitted under subsection  (e) of this Section, the Secretary of State shall enter the suspension to the driving record as follows:
(1)   for refusal or failure to complete validated     roadside chemical tests or field sobriety tests, a 12-month suspension shall be entered; or
(2)   for submitting to validated roadside chemical     tests or field sobriety tests that disclosed the driver was impaired by the use of cannabis, a 6-month suspension shall be entered.
The Secretary of State shall confirm the suspension by mailing a notice of the effective date of the suspension to the person and the court of venue. However, should the sworn report be defective for  insufficient information or be completed in error, the confirmation of the suspension shall not be mailed to the person or entered to the record; instead, the sworn report shall be forwarded to the court of venue with a copy returned to the issuing agency identifying the defect.
(g)   The law enforcement officer submitting the sworn report under subsection  (e) of this Section shall serve immediate notice of the suspension on the person and the suspension shall be effective as provided in subsection  (h) of this Section.  If immediate notice of the suspension cannot be given, the arresting officer or arresting agency shall give notice by deposit in the United States mail of the notice in an envelope with postage prepaid and addressed to the person at his or her address as shown on the Uniform Traffic Ticket and the suspension shall begin as provided in subsection (h) of this Section.  The officer shall confiscate any Illinois driver's license or permit on the person at the time of arrest. If the person has a valid driver's license or permit, the officer shall issue the person a receipt, in a form prescribed by the Secretary of State, that will allow the person to drive during the period provided for in subsection (h) of this Section. The officer shall immediately forward the driver's license or permit to the circuit court of venue along with the sworn report under subsection (e) of this Section.
(h)    The suspension under subsection (f) of this Section shall take effect on the 46th day following the date the notice of the suspension was given to the person.
(i)    When a driving privilege has been suspended under this Section and the person is subsequently convicted of violating Section 11-501 of this Code, or a similar provision of a local ordinance, for the same incident, any period served on suspension under this Section shall be credited toward the minimum period of revocation of driving privileges imposed under Section 6-205 of this Code.

by the driver shall be prima facie evidence of such driver's failure to
obey this Section. For the purposes of this Section, a limousine is a motor
vehicle of the first division with the passenger compartment enclosed by a
partition or dividing window used in the for-hire transportation of
passengers and operated by an individual in possession of a valid Illinois

ARTICLE VI.  
		SPEED RESTRICTIONS
(625 ILCS 5/11-601) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 11-601)
Sec. 11-601. General speed restrictions.
(a) No vehicle may be driven upon any highway of this State at a speed
which is greater than is reasonable and proper with regard to traffic
conditions and the use of the highway, or endangers the safety of any
person or property.  The fact that the speed of a vehicle does not exceed
the applicable maximum speed limit does not relieve the driver from the
duty to decrease speed when approaching and crossing an intersection,
approaching and going around a curve, when approaching a hill crest, when
traveling upon any narrow or winding roadway, or when special hazard exists
with respect to pedestrians or other traffic or by reason of weather or
highway conditions.  Speed must be decreased as may be necessary to avoid
colliding with any person or vehicle on or entering the highway in
compliance with legal requirements and the duty of all persons to use due
care.
(a-5) For purposes of this Section, "urban district" does not include any interstate highway as defined by Section 1-133.1 of this Code which includes all highways under the jurisdiction of the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority.
(b) No person may drive a vehicle upon any highway of this State at a
speed which is greater than the applicable statutory maximum speed limit
established by paragraphs (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) of this Section, by
Section 11-605 or by a regulation or ordinance made under this Chapter.
(c) Unless some other speed restriction is established under this
Chapter, the maximum speed limit in an urban district for all vehicles is:
1. 30 miles per hour; and
2. 15 miles per hour in an alley.
(d) Unless some other speed restriction is established under this Chapter,
the maximum speed limit outside an urban district for any vehicle is (1) 65 miles per hour for all or part of highways that are designated by
the Department, have at least 4 lanes of traffic, and have a separation between
the roadways moving in opposite directions and (2) 55 miles per hour for all

Sec. 11-604. Alteration of limits by local authorities.
(a) Subject to
the limitations set forth in this Section, the county board of a county
may establish absolute maximum speed limits on all county highways,
township roads and district roads as defined in the Illinois Highway
Code, except those under the jurisdiction
of the Department or of the Illinois State Toll Highway Authority, as
described in Sections 11-602 and 11-603 of this Chapter; and any park
district, city, village, or incorporated town may establish absolute
maximum speed limits on all streets which are within its corporate
limits and which are not under the jurisdiction of the Department or of
such Authority, and for which the county or a highway commissioner of
such county does not have maintenance responsibility.
(b) Whenever any such park district, city, village, or
incorporated town determines, upon
the basis of an engineering or traffic investigation concerning a
highway or street on which it is authorized by this Section to establish
speed limits, that a maximum speed limit prescribed in Section 11-601 of
this Chapter is greater or less than is reasonable or safe with respect
to the conditions found to exist at any place or along any part or zone
of such highway or street, the local authority or park district shall
determine and declare by ordinance a reasonable and safe absolute
maximum speed limit at such place or along such part or zone,
which:
(1) Decreases the limit within an urban district, but     not to less than 20 miles per hour; or
(2) Increases the limit within an urban district, but     not to more than 55 miles per hour; or
(3) Decreases the limit outside of an urban district,     but not to less than 35 miles per hour, except as otherwise provided in subparagraph 4 of this paragraph; or
(4) Decreases the limit within a residence district,     but not to less than 25 miles per hour, except as otherwise provided in subparagraph 1 of this paragraph.
The park district, city, village, or incorporated
town may make such limit applicable
at all times or only during certain specified times.  Not more than 6
such alterations shall be made per mile along a highway or street; and
the difference in limit between adjacent altered speed zones shall not
be more than 10 miles per hour.
A limit so determined and declared by a park district, city, village,
or incorporated town becomes effective, and suspends the application of
the limit prescribed in Section 11-601 of this Chapter, when appropriate
signs giving notice of the limit are erected at the proper place or
along the proper part or zone of the highway or street.  Electronic
speed-detecting devices shall not be used within 500 feet beyond any
such sign in the direction of travel; if so used in violation of this
Section evidence obtained thereby shall be inadmissible in any
prosecution for speeding.  However, nothing in this Section prohibits
the use of such electronic speed-detecting devices within 500 feet of a
sign within a special school speed zone indicating such zone, conforming
to the requirements of Section 11-605 of this Act, nor shall evidence
obtained thereby be inadmissible in any prosecution for speeding
provided the use of such device shall apply only to the enforcement of
the speed limit in such special school speed zone.
(c) A county engineer or
superintendent of highways may submit to the Department for approval, a
county policy for establishing altered speed zones on township and county
highways based upon engineering and traffic investigations.
(d) Whenever the county board of a county determines that a maximum speed limit
is greater or less than is
reasonable or safe with respect to the conditions found to exist at any place
or along any part or zone of the highway or road, the county board shall
determine and declare by ordinance a reasonable and safe absolute maximum speed
limit at that place or along that part or zone.  However, the maximum speed
limit shall not exceed 55 miles per hour. Upon receipt of an engineering study for the part or zone of highway in question from the county engineer, and notwithstanding any other provision of law, the county board of a county may determine and declare by ordinance a reduction in the maximum speed limit
at any place
or along any part or zone of a county highway whenever the county board, in its sole discretion, determines that the reduction in the maximum speed limit is reasonable and safe.
The county board may post signs designating the new speed limit. The limit becomes effective, and suspends the application of the
limit
prescribed in Section 11-601 of this Chapter, when appropriate signs
giving notice of the limit are erected at the proper place or along the
proper part of the zone of the highway.  Electronic speed-detecting
devices shall not be used within 500 feet beyond any such sign in the
direction of travel; if so used in violation of this Section, evidence
obtained thereby shall be inadmissible in any prosecution for speeding.
However, nothing in this Section prohibits the use of such electronic
speed-detecting devices within 500 feet of a sign within a special
school speed zone indicating such zone, conforming to the requirements
of Section 11-605 of this Act, nor shall evidence obtained thereby be
inadmissible in any prosecution for speeding provided the use of such
device shall apply only to the enforcement of the speed limit in such
special school speed zone.

(a) The Department and local authorities
are authorized to determine those portions of any highway under their
respective jurisdictions where overtaking and passing or driving on the
left of the roadway would be especially hazardous and may by appropriate
signs or markings on the roadway indicate the beginning and end of such
zones.  Upon request of a local school board, the Department or local
authority which has jurisdiction over the roadway in question, shall
determine whether a hazardous situation exists at a particular location and
warrants a no-passing zone.  If the Department or local authority
determines that a no-passing zone is warranted, the school board and the
Department or local authority shall share equally the cost of designating
the no-passing zone by signs and markings. When such signs or markings are
in place and clearly visible to an ordinarily observant person every driver
of a vehicle shall obey the directions thereof.

lanes for traffic the following rules in addition to all others consistent
herewith shall apply.
(a) A vehicle shall be driven as nearly as practicable entirely within a
single lane and shall not be moved from such lane until the driver has
first ascertained that such movement can be made with safety.
(b) Upon a roadway which is divided into 3 lanes and provides for
two-way movement of traffic, a vehicle shall not be driven in the center
lane except when overtaking and passing another vehicle traveling in the
same direction when such center lane is clear of traffic within a safe
distance, or in preparation for making a left turn or where such center
lane is at the time allocated exclusively to traffic moving in the same
direction that the vehicle is proceeding and such allocation is designated
by official traffic control devices.

Sec. 11-907. Operation of vehicles and streetcars on approach of authorized
emergency
vehicles.
(a) Upon the immediate approach of an authorized emergency vehicle
making use of audible and visual signals meeting the requirements of this
Code or a police vehicle properly and lawfully making use of an audible
or visual signal:
(1) the driver of every other vehicle shall yield the     right-of-way and shall immediately drive to a position parallel to, and as close as possible to, the right-hand edge or curb of the highway clear of any intersection and shall, if necessary to permit the safe passage of the emergency vehicle, stop and remain in such position until the authorized emergency vehicle has passed, unless otherwise directed by a police officer; and
(2) the operator of every streetcar shall immediately     stop such car clear of any intersection and keep it in such position until the authorized emergency vehicle has passed, unless otherwise directed by a police officer.
(b) This Section shall not operate to relieve the driver of an
authorized emergency vehicle from the duty to drive with due regard for the
safety of all persons using the highway.
(c) Upon approaching a stationary authorized emergency vehicle, when the
authorized emergency vehicle is giving a signal by displaying alternately
flashing
red, red and white, blue, or red and blue lights or amber or yellow warning
lights, a
person who drives an approaching vehicle shall:
(1) proceeding with due caution, yield the     right-of-way by making a lane change into a lane not adjacent to that of the authorized emergency vehicle, if possible with due regard to safety and traffic conditions, if on a highway having at least 4 lanes with not less than 2 lanes proceeding in the same direction as the approaching vehicle; or
(2) if changing lanes would be impossible or unsafe,     proceeding with due caution, reduce the speed of the vehicle, maintaining a safe speed for road conditions and leaving a safe distance until safely past the stationary emergency vehicles.
The visual signal specified under this subsection (c) given by an authorized emergency vehicle is an indication to drivers of approaching vehicles that a hazardous condition is present when circumstances are not immediately clear.  Drivers of vehicles approaching a stationary emergency vehicle in any lane shall heed the warning of the signal, reduce the speed of the vehicle, proceed with due caution, maintain a safe speed for road conditions, be prepared to stop, and leave a safe distance until safely passed the stationary emergency vehicle.
As used in this subsection (c), "authorized emergency vehicle"
includes any vehicle authorized by law to be equipped with oscillating,
rotating, or flashing lights under Section 12-215 of this Code, while the owner
or operator of the vehicle is engaged in his or her official duties.
(d) A person who violates subsection (c) of this Section commits a business
offense punishable by a fine of not less than $250 or more than $10,000 for a first violation, and a fine of not less than $750 or more than $10,000 for a second or subsequent violation.  It is a factor in
aggravation if the person committed the offense while in violation of Section
11-501, 12-610.1, or 12-610.2 of this Code. Imposition of the penalties authorized by this subsection (d) for a violation of subsection (c) of this Section that results in the death of
another person does not preclude imposition of appropriate additional civil or criminal penalties. A person who violates subsection (c) and the violation results in damage to another vehicle commits a Class A misdemeanor.  A person who violates subsection (c) and the violation results in the injury or death of another person commits a Class 4 felony.
(e) If a violation of subsection (c) of this Section results in damage to
the
property of another person, in addition to any other penalty imposed,
the person's driving privileges shall be suspended for a fixed
period of not less than 90 days and not more than one year.
(f) If a violation of subsection (c) of this Section results in injury to
another
person, in addition to any other penalty imposed,
the person's driving privileges shall be suspended for a fixed period of not
less
than 180
days and not more than 2 years.
(g) If a violation of subsection (c) of this Section results in the death of
another person, in addition to any other penalty imposed,
the person's driving privileges shall be suspended for 2 years.
(h) The Secretary of State shall, upon receiving a record of a judgment
entered against a person under subsection (c) of this Section:
(1) suspend the person's driving privileges for the     mandatory period; or
(2) extend the period of an existing suspension by     the appropriate mandatory period.
(i) The Scott's Law Fund shall be a special fund in the State treasury. Subject to appropriation by the General Assembly and approval by the Director, the Director of the State Police shall use all moneys in the Scott's Law Fund in the Department's discretion to fund the production of materials to educate drivers on approaching stationary authorized emergency vehicles, to hire off-duty Department of State Police for enforcement of this Section, and for other law enforcement purposes the Director deems necessary in these efforts.
(j) For violations of this Section issued by a county or municipal police officer, the assessment shall be deposited into the county's or municipality's Transportation Safety Highway Hire-back Fund. The county shall use the moneys in its Transportation Safety Highway Hire-back Fund to hire off-duty county police officers to monitor construction or maintenance zones in that county on highways other than interstate highways. The county, in its discretion, may also use a portion of the moneys in its Transportation Safety Highway Hire-back Fund to purchase equipment for county law enforcement and fund the production of materials to educate drivers on construction zone safe driving habits and approaching stationary authorized emergency vehicles.
(k) In addition to other penalties imposed by this Section, the court may order a person convicted of a violation of subsection (c) to perform community service as determined by the court.

(a) Whenever any person driving a vehicle approaches a railroad grade
crossing where the driver is not always required to stop, the
person must
exercise due care and caution as the existence of
a railroad track across a highway is a warning of danger, and under any of
the circumstances stated in this Section, the driver shall stop within 50
feet but not less than 15 feet from the nearest rail of the railroad and
shall not proceed until the tracks are clear and he or she can do so
safely.  The
foregoing requirements
shall apply when:
1. A clearly visible electric or mechanical signal     device gives warning of the immediate approach of a railroad train or railroad track equipment;
2. A crossing gate is lowered or a human flagman     gives or continues to give a signal of the approach or passage of a railroad train or railroad track equipment;
3. A railroad train or railroad track equipment     approaching a highway crossing emits a warning signal and such railroad train or railroad track equipment, by reason of its speed or nearness to such crossing, is an immediate hazard;
4. An approaching railroad train or railroad track     equipment is plainly visible and is in hazardous proximity to such crossing;
5. A railroad train or railroad track equipment is     approaching so closely that an immediate hazard is created.
(a-1)    Whenever any person driving a commercial motor vehicle, as defined in Section 6-500 of this Code, approaches a railroad grade crossing where the driver is not always required to stop, the person must exercise due care and caution as the existence of a railroad track across a highway is a warning of danger, and under any of the circumstances stated in this Section, the driver shall stop within 50 feet but not less than 15 feet from the nearest rail of the railroad and shall not proceed until the tracks are clear and he or she can do so safely. The foregoing requirements shall apply when:
1.   A clearly visible electric or mechanical signal     device gives warning of the immediate approach of a railroad train or railroad track equipment;
2.   A crossing gate is lowered or a human flagman     gives or continues to give a signal of the approach or passage of a railroad train or railroad track equipment;
3.   A railroad train or railroad track equipment     approaching a highway crossing emits a warning signal and such railroad train or railroad track equipment, by reason of its speed or nearness to such crossing, is an immediate hazard;
4.   An approaching railroad train or railroad track     equipment is plainly visible and is in hazardous proximity to such crossing;
5.   A railroad train or railroad track equipment is     approaching so closely that an immediate hazard is created.
(a-5) Whenever a person driving a commercial motor vehicle, as defined in Section 6-500 of this Code, approaches a railroad grade
crossing where the driver is not always required to stop but must slow down,
the person must exercise due care and caution as the existence of a railroad
track across a highway is a warning of danger, and under any of the
circumstances stated in this Section, the driver shall slow down within 50 feet
but not less than 15 feet from the nearest rail of the railroad and shall not
proceed until he or she checks that the tracks are clear of an approaching
train or railroad track equipment.
(b) No person shall drive any vehicle through, around
or under any crossing gate or barrier at a railroad crossing
while such gate or barrier is closed or is being opened or closed.
(c) The Department, and local authorities with the
approval of the Department, are hereby authorized to designate
particularly dangerous highway grade crossings of railroads
and to erect stop signs thereat.  When such stop signs
are erected the driver of any vehicle shall stop within 50
feet but not less than 15 feet from the nearest rail of such
railroad and shall proceed only upon exercising due care.
(d) At any railroad grade crossing provided with railroad crossbuck signs,
without automatic, electric, or mechanical signal devices, crossing gates, or a
human flagman giving a signal of the approach or passage of a train or railroad track equipment, the driver
of a vehicle shall in obedience to the railroad crossbuck sign, yield the
right-of-way and slow down to a speed reasonable for the existing conditions
and shall stop, if required for safety, at a clearly marked stopped line, or if
no stop line, within 50 feet but not less than 15 feet from the nearest rail of
the railroad and shall not proceed until he or she can do so safely.  If a
driver is involved in a collision at a railroad crossing or interferes with the
movement of a train or railroad track equipment after driving past the railroad crossbuck sign, the
collision or interference is prima facie evidence of the driver's
failure to yield right-of-way.
(d-1) No person shall, while driving a commercial motor vehicle, fail to
negotiate
a railroad-highway grade railroad crossing because of insufficient
undercarriage
clearance.
(d-5) (Blank).
(e) It is unlawful to violate any part of this
Section.
(1) A violation of this Section is a petty offense     for which a fine of $500 shall be imposed for a first violation, and a fine of $1,000 shall be imposed for a second or subsequent violation.  The court may impose 25 hours of community service in place of the $500 fine for the first violation.
(2) For a second or subsequent violation, the     Secretary of State may suspend the driving privileges of the offender for a minimum of 6 months.
(f) Corporate authorities of municipal corporations
regulating operators of vehicles that fail to obey signals indicating the
presence,
approach, passage, or departure of a
train or railroad track equipment shall impose fines as established in subsection (e) of this Section.

Sec. 11-1201.1. Automated railroad crossing enforcement system.
(a) For the purposes of this Section, an automated railroad grade crossing
enforcement system is a system in a municipality or county operated by a governmental agency that produces a recorded image of a motor vehicle's violation of a provision of this Code or local ordinance and is designed to obtain a clear recorded image of the vehicle and vehicle's license plate. The recorded image must also display the time, date, and location of the violation.
As used in this Section, "recorded images" means images recorded by an automated railroad grade crossing enforcement system on:
(1) 2 or more photographs;
(2) 2 or more microphotographs;
(3) 2 or more electronic images; or
(4) a video recording showing the motor vehicle and,     on at least one image or portion of the recording, clearly identifying the registration plate or digital registration plate number of the motor vehicle.
(b) The Illinois
Commerce Commission may, in cooperation with a
local law enforcement agency, establish in any county or municipality an automated
railroad grade crossing enforcement system at any railroad grade crossing equipped with a crossing gate designated by local authorities. Local authorities desiring the establishment of  an automated railroad crossing enforcement  system must initiate the process by enacting a local ordinance requesting the creation of such a system. After the ordinance has been enacted, and before any additional steps toward the establishment of the system are undertaken, the local authorities  and  the Commission must agree to a plan for obtaining, from any combination of federal, State, and local funding sources, the moneys required for the purchase and installation of any necessary equipment.
(b-1) (Blank).
(c) For each violation of Section 11-1201  of this Code or a local ordinance recorded by an automated railroad grade crossing enforcement system, the county or municipality having jurisdiction shall issue a written notice of the violation to the registered owner of the vehicle as the alleged violator. The notice shall be delivered to the registered owner of the vehicle, by mail, no later than 90 days after the violation.
The notice shall include:
(1) the name and address of the registered owner of     the vehicle;
(2) the registration number of the motor vehicle     involved in the violation;
(3) the violation charged;
(4) the location where the violation occurred;
(5) the date and time of the violation;
(6) a copy of the recorded images;
(7) the amount of the civil penalty imposed and the     date by which the civil penalty should be paid;
(8) a statement that recorded images are evidence of     a violation of a railroad grade crossing;
(9) a warning that failure to pay the civil penalty     or to contest liability in a timely manner is an admission of liability; and
(10) a statement that the person may elect to proceed     by:
(A) paying the fine; or
(B) challenging the charge in court, by mail, or         by administrative hearing.
(d) (Blank).
(d-1) (Blank).
(d-2) (Blank).
(e) Based on inspection of recorded images produced by an automated railroad grade crossing enforcement system, a notice alleging that the violation occurred shall be evidence of the facts contained in the notice and admissible in any proceeding alleging a violation under this Section.
(e-1) Recorded images made by an automated railroad grade crossing enforcement system are confidential and shall be made available only to the alleged violator and governmental and law enforcement agencies for purposes of adjudicating a violation of this Section, for statistical purposes, or for other governmental purposes. Any recorded image evidencing a violation of this Section, however, may be admissible in any proceeding resulting from the issuance of the citation.
(e-2) The court or hearing officer may consider the following in the defense of a violation:
(1) that the motor vehicle or registration plates or     digital registration plates of the motor vehicle were stolen before the violation occurred and not under the control of or in the possession of the owner or lessee at the time of the violation;
(1.5)   that the motor vehicle was hijacked before     the violation occurred and not under the control of or in the possession of the owner or lessee at the time of the violation;
(2) that the driver of the motor vehicle received a     Uniform Traffic Citation from a police officer at the time of the violation for the same offense;
(3) any other evidence or issues provided by     municipal or county ordinance.
(e-3) To demonstrate that the motor vehicle was hijacked or the motor vehicle or registration plates or digital registration plates were stolen before the violation occurred and were not under the control or possession of the owner or lessee at the time of the violation, the owner or lessee must submit proof that a report concerning the motor vehicle or registration plates was filed with a law enforcement agency in a timely manner.
(f) Rail crossings equipped with an automatic railroad grade crossing
enforcement system shall be posted with a sign visible to approaching traffic
stating that the railroad grade crossing is being monitored, that citations
will be issued, and the amount of the fine for violation.
(g) The compensation paid for an automated railroad grade crossing enforcement system must be based on the value of the equipment or the services provided and may not be based on the number of citations issued or the revenue generated by the system.
(h) (Blank).
(i) If any part or parts of this Section are held by a  court of competent
jurisdiction to be unconstitutional, the unconstitutionality shall not affect
the validity of the remaining parts of this Section.  The General Assembly
hereby declares that it would have passed the remaining parts of this Section
if it had known that the other part or parts of this Section would be declared
unconstitutional.
(j) Penalty. A civil fine of
$250 shall be imposed for a first violation of this Section, and a civil fine of $500 shall be
imposed for a second or subsequent violation of this Section.

or device
and shall provide for, by administrative
rules, the content and form of an application for a person with disabilities
motorist decal or device,
which shall be used by local authorities in the issuance thereof to a
person with temporary disabilities, provided that the decal or device is
valid for no more than 90 days, subject to renewal for like periods based upon
continued disability, and further provided that the decal or device clearly
sets forth the date that the decal or device expires.
The application shall
include the requirement of an Illinois Identification Card number or a State
of Illinois driver's license number or, if the applicant does not have an identification card or driver's license number, then the applicant may use a valid identification number issued by a branch of the U.S. military or a federally issued Medicare or Medicaid identification number.
This decal or device may be used by the authorized holder to designate and identify a vehicle not owned or displaying a
registration plate or digital registration plate as provided in Sections 3-609 and 3-616 of this Act to
designate when the vehicle is being used to transport said person or persons
with disabilities, and thus is entitled to enjoy all the privileges that would
be afforded a person with disabilities licensed vehicle.
Person with disabilities decals or devices issued and displayed pursuant to
this Section shall be recognized and honored by all local authorities
regardless of which local authority issued such decal or device.
The decal or device shall be issued only upon a showing by adequate
documentation that the person for whose benefit the decal or device is to be
used has a disability as defined in Section 1-159.1 of this

of such decal or device, its issuance and designated placement within the
vehicle.  The cost of such decal or device shall be at the discretion of
such local governing authority.
(c) The Secretary of State may, pursuant to Section 3-616(c), issue
a person with disabilities parking decal or device to a person with
disabilities as defined by Section 1-159.1.  Any person with disabilities
parking decal or device issued by the Secretary of State shall be registered to
that person with disabilities in the form to be prescribed by the Secretary of
State.  The person with disabilities parking decal or device shall not display
that person's address.  One additional decal or device may be issued to an
applicant upon his or her written request and with the approval of the
Secretary of
State.
The written request must include a justification of the need for the
additional decal or device.
(c-5) Beginning January 1, 2014, the Secretary shall provide by administrative rule for the issuance of a separate and distinct parking decal or device for persons with disabilities as defined by Section 1-159.1 of this Code and who meet the qualifications under this subsection. The authorized holder of a decal or device issued under this subsection (c-5) shall be exempt from the payment of fees generated by parking in a metered space, a parking area subject to paragraph (10) of subsection (a) of Section 11-209 of this Code, or a publicly owned parking area.
The Secretary shall issue a meter-exempt decal or device to a person with
disabilities who: (i) has been issued registration plates or digital registration plates under subsection (a) of Section 3-609 or Section 3-616 of this Code or a special decal or device under this Section, (ii) holds a valid Illinois driver's license, and (iii) is unable to do one or more of the following:
(1) manage, manipulate, or insert coins, or obtain     tickets or tokens in parking meters or ticket machines in parking lots, due to the lack of fine motor control of both hands;
(2) reach above his or her head to a height of 42     inches from the ground, due to a lack of finger, hand, or upper extremity strength or mobility;
(3) approach a parking meter due to his or her use of     a wheelchair or other device for mobility; or
(4) walk more than 20 feet due to an orthopedic,     neurological, cardiovascular, or lung condition in which the degree of debilitation is so severe that it almost completely impedes the ability to walk.
The application for a meter-exempt parking decal or device shall contain a statement certified by a licensed physician, physician assistant, or advanced practice registered nurse attesting to the permanent nature of the applicant's condition and verifying that the applicant meets the physical qualifications specified in this subsection (c-5).
Notwithstanding the requirements of this subsection (c-5), the Secretary shall issue a meter-exempt decal or device to a person who has been issued registration plates or digital registration plates under Section 3-616 of this Code or a special decal or device under this Section, if the applicant is the parent or guardian of a person with disabilities who is under 18 years of age and incapable of driving.
(d) Replacement decals or devices may be issued for lost, stolen, or
destroyed decals upon application and payment of a $10 fee.   The replacement
fee may be waived for individuals that have claimed and received a grant under
the Senior Citizens and Persons with Disabilities Property Tax Relief Act.
(e) A person classified as a veteran under subsection (e)  of Section 6-106 of this Code that has been issued a decal or device under this Section shall not be required to submit evidence of disability in order to renew that decal or device if, at the time of initial application, he or she  submitted evidence from his or her physician or the Department of Veterans' Affairs that the disability is of a permanent nature. However, the Secretary shall take reasonable steps to ensure the veteran still resides in this State at the time of the renewal.  These steps may include requiring the veteran to provide additional documentation or to appear at a Secretary of State facility.  To identify veterans who are eligible for this exemption, the Secretary shall compare the list of the persons who have been issued a decal or device to the list of persons who have been issued a vehicle registration plate or digital registration plate for veterans with disabilities under Section 3-609 of this Code, or who are identified as a veteran on their driver's license under Section 6-110 of this Code or on their identification card under Section 4 of the Illinois Identification Card Act.

parking decal or device containing the International symbol of access
issued to persons with disabilities by any local authority, state, district,
territory or foreign country shall be recognized by State and local
authorities as a valid license plate or device and receive the same parking
privileges as residents of this State.

and shall display signs indicating the fine imposed.  If the amount of
the fine is subsequently changed, the municipality shall change the sign to
indicate the current amount of the fine.
It shall not be a defense to a charge under this Section that either the sign posted
pursuant to this
Section or the intended accessible parking place does not comply with the technical requirements of Section 11-301,
Department
regulations, or local ordinance if a reasonable person would be made aware by
the
sign or notice on or near the parking place that the place is reserved for a
person
with
disabilities.

The circuit clerk shall distribute 50% of the fine imposed on any person who is found guilty of or pleads guilty to violating this Section, including any person placed on court supervision for violating this Section, to the law enforcement agency that issued the citation or made the arrest. If more than one law enforcement agency is responsible for issuing the citation or making the arrest, the 50% of the fine imposed shall be shared equally.
If an officer of the Secretary of State Department of Police arrested a person for a violation of this Section, 50% of the fine imposed shall be deposited into the Secretary of State Police Services Fund.

(c) and (c-1) for violations of this Section.

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.
The owner of any vehicle alleged to have violated paragraph (a) of this
Section shall, upon appropriate demand by the State's Attorney or other
designated person acting in response to a signed complaint, provide
a written statement or deposition identifying the operator of the vehicle
if such operator was not the owner at the time of the alleged violation.
Failure to supply such information shall result in the suspension of the vehicle registration of the vehicle for a period of 3 months.  In the event the owner has assigned control for the use
of the vehicle to another, the person to whom control was assigned shall
comply with the provisions of this paragraph and be subject to the same
penalties as herein provided.

(h-1) At a rate of speed too fast for conditions, and the fact that the
speed of the all-terrain vehicle or off-highway motorcycle does not exceed the
applicable maximum speed
limit allowed does not relieve the driver from the duty to decrease
speed as may be necessary to avoid colliding with any person, vehicle,
or object within legal requirements and the duty of all persons to use
due care.
(h-2) On the frozen surface of public waters of this State within 100
feet of a person, including a skater, not in or upon an
all-terrain vehicle or off-highway motorcycle; within
