Statutes Amended In Order of Appearance

625 ILCS 5/11-306

from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 11-306

Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that the driver of a motorcycle, facing any steady red signal which fails to change to a green signal within a reasonable period of time 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, has the right to proceed subject to the rules applicable after making a stop at a stop sign.

House Committee Amendment No. 1
Provides that the provisions of the amendatory Act shall apply to bicycles as well as motorcycles.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 1

	Adds reference to:
	625 ILCS 5/11-208.6

Replaces everything after the enacting clause. Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Provides that in municipalities with less than 2,000,000 inhabitants, the driver of a motorcycle, facing any steady red signal which fails to change to a green signal within a reasonable period of time 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, has 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. Provides that 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 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.

Governor Amendatory Veto Message
Recommends that the bill be amended to provide that: it shall be an affirmative defense that the red traffic signal failed to detect the arrival of a motorcycle or bicycle due to the vehicle’s size or weight and the operator (i) waited at least 120 seconds before proceeding, and (ii) yielded the right of way to oncoming traffic facing a green signal; and to provide that no vehicle may proceed past a red traffic signal where turning on red is prohibited.
