Illinois Compiled Statutes (ILCS)
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.
(625 ILCS 5/11-302) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 11-302)
Sec. 11-302.
Authority to designate through highway and stop and yield
intersections.
(a) The Department with reference to State highways under its
jurisdiction, and local authorities
with reference to other highways under their jurisdiction, may designate
through highways and erect stop signs or yield signs at specified entrances
thereto, or may designate any intersection as a stop intersection or as a
yield intersection and erect stop signs or yield signs at one or more
entrances to such intersection. Designation of through highways and stop or
yield intersections and the erection of stop signs or yield signs on
township or road district roads are subject to the written approval of the
county engineer or superintendent of highways.
(b) Every stop sign and yield sign shall conform to the State Manual and
Specifications and shall be located as near as practicable to the nearest
line of the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection or, if there is
no crosswalk, then as close as practicable to the nearest line of the
intersecting roadway.
(c) The Department may in its discretion and when traffic conditions
warrant such action give preference to traffic upon any of the State
highways under its jurisdiction over traffic crossing or entering such
highway by erecting appropriate traffic control devices.
