Synopsis As Introduced Amends the Illinois Vehicle Code. Requires vehicles facing a flashing yellow arrow indication to proceed only as indicated by the arrow and to yield the right of way to other vehicles and pedestrians lawfully within the intersection or an adjacent crosswalk. Permits pedestrians facing a flashing yellow arrow indication to proceed across the roadway within any marked or unmarked crosswalk unless otherwise directed by pedestrian control signals.
House Committee Amendment No. 1 Changes "pedestrian control" to "pedestrian-control" and specifies that pedestrians facing a flashing yellow arrow have right of way only when crossing within the crosswalk that crosses the lane or lanes used to depart the intersection by traffic controlled by the flashing yellow arrow.
House Committee Amendment No. 2 Provides that pedestrians must give the right of way to vehicles lawfully within the intersection at the time the flashing yellow signal is first displayed.
