LRB9200678DHmbA
1 AN ACT to amend the Illinois Vehicle Code by changing
2 Sections 15-102 and 15-107.
3 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
4 represented in the General Assembly:
5 Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by
6 changing Sections 15-102 and 15-107 as follows:
7 (625 ILCS 5/15-102) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 15-102)
8 Sec. 15-102. Width of Vehicles.
9 (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section or this
10 Code, the total outside width of any vehicle or load thereon
11 shall not exceed 8 feet.
12 (a-1) The total outside width of a recreational vehicle
13 as defined in Section 1-169 may exceed 8 feet 6 inches by no
14 more than 6 inches on one side of the vehicle if the excess
15 width is attributable to appurtenances, including retracted
16 awnings.
17 (b) Except during those times when, due to insufficient
18 light or unfavorable atmospheric conditions, persons and
19 vehicles on the highway are not clearly discernible at a
20 distance of 1000 feet, the following vehicles may exceed the
21 8 feet limitation during the period from a half hour before
22 sunrise to a half hour after sunset:
23 (1) Loads of hay, straw or other similar farm
24 products provided that the load is not more than 12 feet
25 wide.
26 (2) Implements of husbandry being transported on
27 another vehicle and the transporting vehicle while
28 loaded.
29 The following requirements apply to the
30 transportation on another vehicle of an implement of
31 husbandry wider than 8 feet 6 inches on the National
-2- LRB9200678DHmbA
1 System of Interstate and Defense Highways or other
2 highways in the system of State highways:
3 (A) The driver of a vehicle transporting an
4 implement of husbandry that exceeds 8 feet 6 inches
5 in width shall obey all traffic laws and shall check
6 the roadways prior to making a movement in order to
7 ensure that adequate clearance is available for the
8 movement. It is prima facie evidence that the
9 driver of a vehicle transporting an implement of
10 husbandry has failed to check the roadway prior to
11 making a movement if the vehicle is involved in a
12 collision with a bridge, overpass, fixed structure,
13 or properly placed traffic control device or if the
14 vehicle blocks traffic due to its inability to
15 proceed because of a bridge, overpass, fixed
16 structure, or properly placed traffic control
17 device.
18 (B) Flags shall be displayed so as to wave
19 freely at the extremities of overwidth objects and
20 at the extreme ends of all protrusions, projections,
21 and overhangs. All flags shall be clean, bright red
22 flags with no advertising, wording, emblem, or
23 insignia inscribed upon them and at least 18 inches
24 square.
25 (C) "OVERSIZE LOAD" signs are mandatory on the
26 front and rear of all vehicles with loads over 10

30 (D) One civilian escort vehicle is required
31 for a load that exceeds 14 feet 6 inches in width
32 and 2 civilian escort vehicles are required for a
33 load that exceeds 16 feet in width on the National
34 System of Interstate and Defense Highways or other

2 (E) The requirements for a civilian escort
3 vehicle and driver are as follows:
4 (1) The civilian escort vehicle shall be

6 not exceeding a gross vehicle weight of 8,000
7 pounds that is designed to afford clear and
8 unobstructed vision to both front and rear.
9 (2) The escort vehicle driver must be
10 properly licensed to operate the vehicle.
11 (3) While in use, the escort vehicle must
12 be equipped with illuminated rotating,
13 oscillating, or flashing amber lights or
14 flashing amber strobe lights mounted on top
15 that are of sufficient intensity to be visible
16 at 500 feet in normal sunlight.
17 (4) "OVERSIZE LOAD" signs are mandatory
18 on all escort vehicles. The sign on an escort
19 vehicle shall have 8-inch high black letters on

21 high.
22 (5) When only one escort vehicle is
23 required and it is operating on a two-lane
24 highway, the escort vehicle shall travel
25 approximately 300 feet ahead of the load. The
26 rotating, oscillating, or flashing lights or
27 flashing amber strobe lights and an "OVERSIZE
28 LOAD" sign shall be displayed on the escort
29 vehicle and shall be visible from the front.
30 When only one escort vehicle is required and it
31 is operating on a multilane divided highway,
32 the escort vehicle shall travel approximately
33 300 feet behind the load and the sign and
34 lights shall be visible from the rear.
-4- LRB9200678DHmbA
1 (6) When 2 escort vehicles are required,
2 one escort shall travel approximately 300 feet
3 ahead of the load and the second escort shall
4 travel approximately 300 feet behind the load.
5 The rotating, oscillating, or flashing lights
6 or flashing amber strobe lights and an
7 "OVERSIZE LOAD" sign shall be displayed on the
8 escort vehicles and shall be visible from the
9 front on the lead escort and from the rear on
10 the trailing escort.
11 (7) When traveling within the corporate
12 limits of a municipality, the escort vehicle
13 shall maintain a reasonable and proper distance
14 from the oversize load, consistent with
15 existing traffic conditions.

29 strobe light or lights mounted on the top of the cab
30 that are of sufficient intensity to be visible at
31 500 feet in normal sunlight. If the load on the
32 transport vehicle blocks the visibility of the amber
33 lighting from the rear of the vehicle, the vehicle
34 must also be equipped with an illuminated rotating,
-5- LRB9200678DHmbA
1 oscillating, or flashing amber light or lights or a
2 flashing amber strobe light or lights mounted on the
3 rear of the load that are of sufficient intensity to
4 be visible at 500 feet in normal sunlight.
5 (G) When a flashing amber light is required on

7 on a two-lane highway, the transport vehicle shall
8 display to the rear at least one rotating,
9 oscillating, or flashing light or a flashing amber
10 strobe light and an "OVERSIZE LOAD" sign. When a

6 conditions:
7 (1) (Blank);
8 (2) When operated within any public transportation
9 service with the approval of local authorities or an
10 appropriate public body authorized by law to provide
11 public transportation. Any vehicle so operated may be 8
12 feet 6 inches in width; or
13 (3) When a county engineer or superintendent of
14 highways, after giving due consideration to the mass
15 transportation needs of the area and to the width and
16 condition of the road, has determined that the operation
17 of buses wider than 8 feet will not pose an undue safety
18 hazard on a particular county or township road segment,
19 he or she may authorize buses not to exceed 8 feet 6
20 inches in width on any highway under that engineer's or
21 superintendent's jurisdiction.
22 (e) A vehicle and load traveling upon the National
23 System of Interstate and Defense Highways or any other
