10 system in a municipality with a population of 1,000,000 or
11 more operated by a governmental agency, in cooperation with a

19 (625 ILCS 5/11-306) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 11-306)
20 Sec. 11-306. Traffic-control signal legend. Whenever
21 traffic is controlled by traffic-control signals exhibiting
22 different colored lights or color lighted arrows,
23 successively one at a time or in combination, only the colors
24 Green, Red and Yellow shall be used, except for special
25 pedestrian signals carrying a word legend, and the lights
26 shall indicate and apply to drivers of vehicles and
27 pedestrians as follows:
28 (a) Green indication.
29 (1) Vehicular traffic facing a circular green signal may
30 proceed straight through or turn right or left unless a sign
SB543 Enrolled -2- LRB9003028NTsb
1 at such place prohibits either such turn. Vehicular traffic,
2 including vehicles turning right or left, shall yield the
3 right of way to other vehicles and to pedestrians lawfully
4 within the intersection or an adjacent crosswalk at the time
5 such signal is exhibited.
6 2. Vehicular traffic facing a green arrow signal, shown
7 alone or in combination with another indication, may
8 cautiously enter the intersection only to make the movement
9 indicated by such arrow, or such other movement as is
10 permitted by other indications shown at the same time. Such
11 vehicular traffic shall yield the right of way to pedestrians
12 lawfully within an adjacent crosswalk and to other traffic
13 lawfully using the intersection.
14 3. Unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian-control
15 signal, as provided in Section 11-307, pedestrians facing any
16 green signal, except when the sole green signal is a turn
17 arrow, may proceed across the roadway within any marked or
18 unmarked crosswalk.
19 (b) Steady yellow indication.
20 1. Vehicular traffic facing a steady circular yellow or
21 yellow arrow signal is thereby warned that the related green
22 movement is being terminated or that a red indication will be
23 exhibited immediately thereafter.
24 2. Pedestrians facing a steady circular yellow or yellow
25 arrow signal, unless otherwise directed by a
26 pedestrian-control signal as provided in Section 11-307, are
27 thereby advised that there is insufficient time to cross the
28 roadway before a red indication is shown and no pedestrian
29 shall then start to cross the roadway.
30 (c) Steady red indication.
31 1. Except as provided in paragraph 3 of subsection (c)
32 of this Section, vehicular traffic facing a steady circular
33 red signal alone shall stop at a clearly marked stop line,
34 but if there is no such stop line, before entering the
SB543 Enrolled -3- LRB9003028NTsb
1 crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or if there
2 is no such crosswalk, then before entering the intersection,
3 and shall remain standing until an indication to proceed is
4 shown.
5 2. Except as provided in paragraph 3 of subsection (c)
6 of this Section, vehicular traffic facing a steady red arrow
7 signal shall not enter the intersection to make the movement
8 indicated by the arrow and, unless entering the intersection
9 to make a movement permitted by another signal, shall stop at
10 a clearly marked stop line, but if there is no such stop
11 line, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the
12 intersection, or if there is no such crosswalk, then before
13 entering the intersection, and shall remain standing until an
14 indication permitting the movement indicated by such red
15 arrow is shown.
16 3. Except when a sign is in place prohibiting a turn and
17 local authorities by ordinance or State authorities by rule
18 or regulation prohibit any such turn, vehicular traffic
19 facing any steady red signal may cautiously enter the
20 intersection to turn right, or to turn left from a one-way
21 street into a one-way street, after stopping as required by
22 paragraph 1 or paragraph 2 of subsection (c) of this Section.
23 After stopping, the driver shall yield the right of way to
24 any vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another
25 roadway so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard
26 during the time such driver is moving across or within the
27 intersection or junction or roadways. Such driver shall
28 yield the right of way to pedestrians within the intersection
29 or an adjacent crosswalk.
30 4. Unless otherwise directed by a pedestrian-control
31 signal as provided in Section 11-307, pedestrians facing a
32 steady circular red or red arrow signal alone shall not enter
33 the roadway.
34 5. A municipality with a population of 1,000,000 or more
SB543 Enrolled -4- LRB9003028NTsb
1 may enact an ordinance that provides for the use of an
2 automated red light enforcement system to enforce violations
3 of this subsection (c) that result in or involve a motor
4 vehicle accident, leaving the scene of a motor vehicle
5 accident, or reckless driving that results in bodily injury.
6 This paragraph 5 is subject to prosecutorial discretion
7 that is consistent with applicable law.
8 (d) In the event an official traffic control signal is
9 erected and maintained at a place other than an intersection,
10 the provisions of this Section shall be applicable except as
11 to provisions which by their nature can have no application.
12 Any stop required shall be at a traffic sign or a marking on
13 the pavement indicating where the stop shall be made or, in
14 the absence of such sign or marking, the stop shall be made
15 at the signal.
16 (e) The motorman of any streetcar shall obey the above
17 signals as applicable to vehicles.
