Illinois Compiled Statutes
Information maintained by the Legislative Reference Bureau Updating the database of the Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS) is an ongoing process. Recent laws may not yet be included in the ILCS database, but they are found on this site as Public Acts soon after they become law. For information concerning the relationship between statutes and Public Acts, refer to the Guide. Because the statute database is maintained primarily for legislative drafting purposes, statutory changes are sometimes included in the statute database before they take effect. If the source note at the end of a Section of the statutes includes a Public Act that has not yet taken effect, the version of the law that is currently in effect may have already been removed from the database and you should refer to that Public Act to see the changes made to the current law.

such structure cannot with safety to itself withstand the weight of
vehicles otherwise permissible under this Chapter the Department shall
determine and declare the maximum weight of vehicles which such structure
can withstand, and shall cause or permit suitable signs stating maximum
weight to be erected and maintained before each end of such structure.
(c) Upon the trial of any person charged with a violation of this
Section proof of the determination of the maximum allowable weight by the
Department and the existence of the signs, constitutes conclusive evidence
of the maximum weight which can be maintained with safety to such bridge or
