Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 540 - CONSTRUCTION OF PEDESTRIAN OVERPASS STRUCTURES ON PARTIALLY ACCESS-CONTROLLED EXPRESSWAYS AND OTHER STATE HIGHWAYS › Section 540.10 - Requests for the Construction of Pedestrian Overpass Structures

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
In the past, we have received requests for the construction of
				pedestrian overpass structures over State highways. The great majority of these
				requests have been in connection with school crossings. Future requests of this
				nature will be based on the following warrants:
a) During each of two periods of a day when
			 school children are using the crossing, the vehicular volumes and the number of
			 children crossing must exceed the requirements shown on the attached chart,
			 (See Exhibit A). At existing locations, a field study of actual traffic
			 conditions may be made in lieu of using the chart.
b) During each of the same two periods, the
			 number of school children crossing in one direction shall not be less than 50.
			 When the 85th percentile speed of vehicular traffic
			 exceeds 40 miles per hour or when the school crossing is located in an isolated
			 community having a population of less than 10,000, this requirement may be
			 reduced to 35 school children.
c)
			 There is no existing stop or go signal control on the street being crossed
			 within 600 feet of the proposed school overpass.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 540 - CONSTRUCTION OF PEDESTRIAN OVERPASS STRUCTURES ON PARTIALLY ACCESS-CONTROLLED EXPRESSWAYS AND OTHER STATE HIGHWAYS › Section 540.20 - Receipt of Requests

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Requests for pedestrian overpasses should be received in
				writing from the municipality. The County Superintendent of Highways, the
				Township Commissioner or the school board may be considered as the proper
				authority for installations outside the corporate limits. Upon receipt of this
				request, a formal agreement between the State and local agency will be prepared
				setting forth the responsibilities of each party. Nothing in this policy would
				preclude the local agency from constructing and maintaining an overpass
				structure with their own funds subject to the issuance of a permit by the
				State.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Participation in the cost of the overpass structure shall be as
				follows:
a) Existing State highway
			 being widened to add lanes; 75 percent State - 25 percent local (contribution
			 may be in the form of cash, preliminary engineering, or right of
			 way).
b) State highway on new
			 location separating school from residential areas; 100 percent State.
c) No highway improvement but warrants are
			 met; 50 percent State - 50 percent local.

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 540 - CONSTRUCTION OF PEDESTRIAN OVERPASS STRUCTURES ON PARTIALLY ACCESS-CONTROLLED EXPRESSWAYS AND OTHER STATE HIGHWAYS › Section 540.70 - Length of Pedestrian Barrier

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
As part of the overpass construction, a sufficient length of
				pedestrian barrier should be erected along the highway to dicourage at-grade
				crossing and encourage pedestrians to use the overpass. The length of
				pedestrian barrier and its location will be determined on an individual project
				basis.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 540 - CONSTRUCTION OF PEDESTRIAN OVERPASS STRUCTURES ON PARTIALLY ACCESS-CONTROLLED EXPRESSWAYS AND OTHER STATE HIGHWAYS › Section 540.80 - Design of Overpass Structures

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
All overpass structures will be designed for a vertical
				clearance, over the pavement of 17' - 3". Horizontal clearances from the edge
				of roadway to piers or abutments will comply with current design geometric
				standards for structures as contained in Section 4-005 and 4-010 of the Design
				Manual. All overpass structures will be designed with protective fencing to
				prevent objects from accidentally being dropped on the traffic
				below.
Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 540 - CONSTRUCTION OF PEDESTRIAN OVERPASS STRUCTURES ON PARTIALLY ACCESS-CONTROLLED EXPRESSWAYS AND OTHER STATE HIGHWAYS › Section 540.90 - Engineering Study

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
Although the warrants given above are the minimum which must be
				met, the final determination to erect an overpass structure will be based on an
				engineering study. Such study should include, but not be restricted to, the
				following considerations:
a) The
			 general conditions that require the school crossing are sufficiently permanent
			 to justify such a structure.
b) The
			 physical characteristics of the location make such a structure feasible from an
			 engineering standpoint.
c) Such a
			 structure could serve other pedestrians besides school children.
d) There is no reasonable possibility that
			 the replanning of school routes or school districts will eliminate the need for
			 such a structure.
e) A comparison
			 between the structure and other types of controls indicates the structure is
			 justified from a long-range standpoint.

			 erected within the right-of-way of a freeway for each direction of travel in
			 advance of an interchange after receipt of the tourism attraction signs by the
			 Department. If additional requests are received for tourism attraction signs
			 and the tourism attraction panel is full, a second tourism attraction panel may
			 be installed. Space for a second tourism attraction panel will be subject to
			 the installation and priority of service types, as prescribed under 92 Ill.
			 Adm. Code 542, Business Logo Signing Program. When considering a second tourism
			 attraction panel, the Department will take into consideration the number of
			 other services available at the interchange, the interest expressed by those
			 qualified businesses, and the anticipated future development of the area. There
			 will only be a maximum of two tourism attraction panels installed for each
			 direction in advance of an interchange. The maximum number of signs displayed
			 on a tourism attraction panel, whether separate or combined with a business
			 logo panel, will be as required in Section
			 543.600(a)(2).
2) Tourism attraction panels will not be
			 erected in advance of any exit-only freeway interchange where motorists cannot
			 easily reenter the freeway and continue in the same direction of
			 travel.
3) Tourism attraction
			 panels will not be erected in advance of any freeway interchange where there
			 are four business logo panels in place except where they can be combined as
			 allowed in Section

				they are part of a joint City-State improvement or involve only the
				installation of signals. The financial responsibility for school and
				commercial-industrial signals shall be as prescribed in Departmental Order 13-4
				except that the maintenance and energy of school signals at public road
				intersections will be as outlined in Sections
				544.60(b)

Illinois Administrative Code › Title 92 - TRANSPORTATION › Part 544 - FINANCING OF TRAFFIC CONTROL SIGNAL INSTALLATION, MODERNIZATION, MAINTENANCE, AND OPERATION ON STREETS AND HIGHWAYS UNDER STATE JURISDICTION › Section 544.40 - Definitions

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
For purposes of this Part:
"Department" means the Department of Transportation, and
				"State" means the State of Illinois.
"Energy Charges" include the costs of supplying electrical
				energy for the operation of the signals.
"Installation" includes the costs involved in the preparation
				of plans and performing construction inspection, as well as the construction
				costs of installing the traffic signals at an intersection.
"Intersection Approaches" include both legs of one-way streets
				as if they were carrying two-way traffic.
"Local Agency" refers to county, township, or municipal
				governments.
"Maintenance" includes costs of routine maintenance on the
				signals, as well as emergency repairs in the event of malfunction of the
				controller or physical damage resulting from accidents, severe weather, or
				vandalism.
"Modernization" includes all engineering costs, as well as the
				construction costs of altering or modifying an existing signal installation,
				either to bring it into conformance with the current Illinois Manual on Uniform
				Traffic Control Devices (92 Ill. Adm. Code 546), to satisfy a need for
				improvement in the operation of the signals, or to correct an accident problem
				at an intersection. The modernization may include altering the operation
				through changes in sequencing and timing or modification of the physical layout
				of the signals.

Current through Register Vol. 48, No. 28, July 12, 2024
a)
			 Master Agreement
1) As soon after January 1,
			 1980, as practicable, the District Engineer will initiate negotiations to
			 develop a revised Master Agreement with those municipalities affected by this
			 Part, which Agreement will establish the participation limits for the
			 maintenance costs of each signalized intersection that is operational or under
			 contract on State highways within the municipality. The Master Agreement will
			 include provisions for energy costs and define which agency is to provide the
			 necessary maintenance. The Master Agreement shall be in accordance with the
			 provisions of all applicable law.
2) This Master Agreement will provide for the
			 Department to assume maintenance costs equivalent to the cost described in
			 Section
			 544.60(b)(1)(B).
			 If, at the time the Master Agreement is executed, this division of costs would
			 result in a municipality paying more for the sum of energy costs and the cost
			 of acceptable maintenance of signals on the State system than it was previously
			 paying, the Department will assume maintenance costs for additional signals to
			 the extent necessary to equate the municipal costs to what it was paying prior
			 to the Master Agreement. The Master Agreement will be executed by the
			 appropriate officials of the municipality, the District, and the Central Bureau
			 of Traffic.
