AN ACT to amend the Illinois Vehicle Code by changing
Section 11-1301.
Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by
changing Section 11-1301 as follows:
(625 ILCS 5/11-1301) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 11-1301)
Sec. 11-1301. Stopping, standing or parking outside of
business or residence district.
(a) Outside a business or residence district, no person
shall stop, park or leave standing any vehicle, whether
attended or unattended, upon the roadway when it is
practicable to stop, park or so leave such vehicle off the
roadway, but in every event an unobstructed width of the
highway opposite a standing vehicle shall be left for the
free passage of other vehicles and a clear view of such
stopped vehicle shall be available from a distance of 200
feet in each direction upon such highway.
(b) The Department with respect to highways under its
jurisdiction or for the maintenance of which it is
responsible may place signs prohibiting or restricting the
stopping, standing or parking of vehicles on any highway
where in its opinion such stopping, standing or parking is
dangerous to those using the highway or where the stopping,
standing or parking of vehicles would unduly interfere with
the free movement of traffic thereon. Any such regulations
adopted by the Department regarding the stopping, standing or
parking of vehicles upon any specific street, streets or
highways become effective at the time of the erection of
appropriate signs indicating such regulations. Any such
signs may be erected either by the Department or by a local
authority with the approval of the Department.
(c) This Section, Section 11-1303 and Section 11-1304
shall not apply to the driver of any vehicle which is
disabled in such manner and to such extent that it is
impossible to avoid stopping and temporarily leaving the
vehicle in such position.
(d) Any second division vehicle used exclusively for the
collection of garbage, refuse, or recyclable material may
stop or stand on the road in a business, rural, or
residential district for the sole purpose of collecting
garbage, refuse, or recyclable material. The vehicle, in
addition to having its hazard lights lighted at all times
that it is engaged in stopping or standing, shall also use
its amber oscillating, rotating, or flashing light or lights
as authorized under paragraph 12 of subsection (b) of Section
12-215, if so equipped.
