(a) No driver shall enter an
intersection or a marked crosswalk or drive onto any railroad grade
crossing unless there is sufficient space on the other side of the
intersection, crosswalk or railroad grade crossing to accommodate the
vehicle he is operating without obstructing the passage of other
vehicles, pedestrians or railroad trains notwithstanding any
traffic-control signal indication to proceed.
(b) No driver shall enter a highway rail grade crossing unless there is
sufficient space on
the other side of the highway rail grade crossing to accommodate the vehicle
being
operated without obstructing the passage of a train or other railroad equipment
using the
rails, notwithstanding any traffic-control signal indication to proceed.
(b-5) No driver operating a commercial motor vehicle, as defined in Section 6-500 of this Code, shall enter a highway rail grade crossing unless there is sufficient space on the other side of the highway rail grade crossing to accommodate the vehicle being operated without obstructing the passage of a train or other railroad equipment using the rails, notwithstanding any traffic-control signal indication to proceed. (c) (Blank).
(d) Beginning with the effective date of this amendatory Act of the 95th General Assembly,
the Secretary of State shall suspend for a period of one month
the driving
privileges of any person convicted of a violation of subsection (b) of this
Section or a similar provision of a local ordinance; the Secretary shall
suspend for a period of 3 months the driving privileges of any person convicted
of a second or subsequent violation of subsection (b) of this Section or a
similar provision of a local ordinance if the second or subsequent violation
occurs within 5 years of a prior conviction for the same offense. In addition
to the suspensions authorized by this Section, any person convicted of
violating subsection (b) of this Section or a similar provision of a local ordinance
shall be subject to a mandatory fine of $500 or 50 hours of community service. Any person given a disposition of court supervision for violating subsection (b) of this Section or a similar provision of a local ordinance shall also be subject to a mandatory fine of $500 or 50 hours of community service. Upon a second or subsequent
violation, in addition to the suspensions authorized by this Section, the person shall be subject to a mandatory fine of $500 and 50 hours community service.
The Secretary may also grant, for the duration of any
suspension issued under this subsection, a restricted driving permit
granting the privilege of driving a motor vehicle between the driver's
residence and place of employment or within other proper limits that the
Secretary of State shall find necessary to avoid any undue hardship. A
restricted driving permit issued hereunder shall be subject to
cancellation, revocation and suspension by the Secretary of State in like
manner and for like cause as a driver's license may be cancelled, revoked
or suspended; except that a conviction upon one or more offenses against
laws or ordinances regulating the movement of traffic shall be deemed
sufficient cause for the revocation, suspension or cancellation of the
restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as a condition to
the issuance of a restricted driving permit, require the applicant to
participate in a designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program. Any
conviction for a violation of this subsection shall be included as an
offense for the purposes of determining suspension action under any other
provision of this Code, provided however, that the penalties provided under
this subsection shall be imposed unless those penalties imposed under other
applicable provisions are greater.
