 2        classes,  as  a  student,  in  an  accredited educational
 3        institution; if the petitioner  is  able  to  demonstrate
 4        that no alternative means of transportation is reasonably
 5        available and the petitioner will not endanger the public
 6        safety or welfare. In each case the Secretary may issue a
 7        restricted   driving   permit   for   a   period   deemed
 8        appropriate,  except that all permits shall expire within
 9        one year from the date of issuance.  A restricted driving
10        permit issued under this  Section  shall  be  subject  to
11        cancellation, revocation, and suspension by the Secretary
12        of  State in like manner and for like cause as a driver's

15        offenses   against  laws  or  ordinances  regulating  the
16        movement of traffic shall be deemed sufficient cause  for
17        the   revocation,   suspension,   or  cancellation  of  a
18        restricted driving permit. The Secretary of State may, as
19        a condition to  the  issuance  of  a  restricted  driving
20        permit,   require  the  applicant  to  participate  in  a

 8        Sec. 11-1201.  Obedience to signal indicating approach of
 9    train.
10        (a)  Whenever  any  person driving a vehicle approaches a
11    railroad grade crossing such person must  exercise  due  care
12    and  caution  as  the  existence of a railroad track across a
13    highway is  a  warning  of  danger,  and  under  any  of  the
14    circumstances  stated  in this Section, the driver shall stop
15    within 50 feet but not less than 15  feet  from  the  nearest
16    rail of the railroad and shall not proceed until he can do so
17    safely.  The foregoing requirements shall apply when:
18             1.  A  clearly visible electric or mechanical signal
19        device gives warning  of  the  immediate  approach  of  a
20        railroad train;
21             2.  A  crossing  gate  is lowered or a human flagman
22        gives or continues to give a signal of  the  approach  or
23        passage of a railroad train;
24             3.  A  railroad train approaching a highway crossing
25        emits a warning signal and such railroad train, by reason
26        of  its  speed  or  nearness  to  such  crossing,  is  an
27        immediate hazard;
28             4.  An approaching railroad train is plainly visible
29        and is in hazardous proximity to such crossing.
30             5.  A railroad train is approaching so closely  that
31        an immediate hazard is created.
32        (b)  No person shall drive any vehicle through, around or
33    under  any  crossing  gate  or barrier at a railroad crossing
 
                            -11-               LRB9201255DHmg
 1    while such gate or barrier is closed or is  being  opened  or
 2    closed.
 3        (c)  The  Department,  and  local  authorities  with  the
 4    approval   of   the  Department,  are  hereby  authorized  to
 5    designate particularly dangerous highway grade  crossings  of
 6    railroads  and  to  erect stop signs thereat.  When such stop
 7    signs are erected the driver of any vehicle shall stop within
 8    50 feet but not less than 15 feet from the  nearest  rail  of
 9    such  railroad  and  shall  proceed  only upon exercising due
10    care.
11        (d)  At  any  railroad  grade  crossing   provided   with
12    railroad  crossbuck  signs,  without  automatic, electric, or
13    mechanical signal devices, crossing gates, or a human flagman
14    giving a signal of the approach or passage of  a  train,  the
15    driver  of  a  vehicle  shall  in  obedience  to the railroad
16    crossbuck sign, yield the right-of-way and  slow  down  to  a
17    speed  reasonable for the existing conditions and shall stop,
18    if required for safety, at a clearly marked stopped line,  or
19    if  no  stop  line,  within 50 feet but not less than 15 feet
20    from the nearest rail of the railroad and shall  not  proceed
21    until he or she can do so safely.  If a driver is involved in
22    a  collision  at  a  railroad crossing or interferes with the
23    movement of a train after driving past the railroad crossbuck
24    sign, the collision or interference is prima  facie  evidence
25    of the driver's failure to yield right-of-way.
26        (e)  Except  as provided in subsection (e-5), a violation
27    of any part of this Section shall result in a mandatory  fine
28    of $500 or 50 hours of community service.
29        (e-5)  Any  person  who  violates  subsection (b) of this
30    Section shall be fined $500 and his or her driving privileges
31    shall be suspended for 3 months.  A  second  violation  shall
32    result in a $1,000 fine and a 6 month suspension.  A third or
33    subsequent  violation shall result in a $1,000 fine and a one
34    year suspension.  Of the moneys collected from fines  imposed

 1    under  this  subsection,  75% shall be deposited in the Grade
 2    Crossing Protection Fund and shall be used for signs at grade
 3    crossings to inform motorists  of  the  penalties  for  going
 4    around  crossing  gates,  and the remainder shall be paid and
 5    used in accordance with the terms of Section 16-105  of  this
 6    Act.
 7        (f)  Local  authorities shall impose fines as established
 8    in subsection (e) for vehicles  that  fail  to  obey  signals
 9    indicating the presence, approach, passage, or departure of a
10    train.
