Synopsis As Introduced
Amends the Illinois Highway Code. Requires the Department of Transportation, local authorities, or any responsible entity to erect and maintain hazard bars for all viaducts and underpasses with a clearance of less than 15 feet. Provides that the hazard bar shall hang at the same clearance level as the viaduct or underpass and at least 500 feet in front of the viaduct or underpass to alert motorists.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with provisions of the introduced bill, and makes the following changes: Provides that the Department of Transportation shall establish a low-clearance early warning device pilot program (rather than hazard bar pilot program). Provides that an early warning device may include, but is not limited to, LiDAR, radar, visual signal, or additional signage.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with provisions of the Senate Amendment No. 1, and makes the following changes: Allows the Department of Transportation to work with the University of Illinois on the pilot program. Provides that the fine shall not exceed $1,000 (rather than the cost to repair the device).
