Illinois General Assembly - Illinois Compiled Statutes

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.

Sec. 11-315. Paved bicycle trail signage.

For the purposes of this Section, "paved bicycle trail" includes trails accommodating bicycle traffic composed of aggregate, asphalt, bituminous treatment, concrete, crushed limestone, or any combination thereof. The authority having maintenance jurisdiction over publicly owned paved bicycle trails in the State shall erect permanent regulatory or warning signage alerting pedestrians or cyclists of highway crossings. If the authority having maintenance jurisdiction over publicly owned bicycle trails has actual knowledge of an emergency or safety hazard that creates a dangerous condition on a publicly owned paved bicycle trail, the authority shall take reasonable steps to erect temporary signage alerting pedestrians or cyclist of the dangerous condition. The Department with reference to State highways under its jurisdiction, and the local authority with reference to other highways under its jurisdiction, shall erect or install permanent signage or markings warning vehicular traffic in advance of bicycle trail crossings. Permanent signage erected or installed as part of this Section shall conform with the State manual and permanent advanced warning signage shall be located at least 150 feet in advance of the crossing. This Section shall not apply to rustic or primitive trails.
