(605 ILCS 5/9-112.3) (from Ch. 121, par. 9-112.3)
Sec. 9-112.3.
Shelters for the convenience and comfort of persons waiting
for buses or other public transportation may be placed and maintained within
the right of way of any street or highway, including right of way for streets
and highways within municipalities, after a license or permit for the shelter
and location is obtained from the highway authority having jurisdiction.
Placement and location of shelters on any street or highway within a municipality
shall be subject to the approval of the corporate authorities of such municipality.
The owners may place advertising on the shelters if authorized by the license
or permit, provided, however, that no political advertising shall be placed
on any shelter on any street or highway at any time and further provided
that advertising on shelters shall be limited to one-third of the vertical
surface of the shelter. Shelters shall not be placed or maintained on that
portion of the right of way designed and used for vehicle traffic and further
shall not be so placed as to impair the street or highway or interfere with
the free and safe flow of traffic.
