    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,

    Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended  by 
changing Section 11-305 and  by adding Section 1-158.2 as 
follows:
 
    (625 ILCS 5/1-158.2 new)
    Sec. 1-158.2. Pedestrian hybrid beacon. A traffic-control 
device used to warn and control traffic, at locations that are 
otherwise without a traffic-control signal, to assist 
pedestrians in crossing a street or highway at a marked 
crosswalk.
 


    (625 ILCS 5/11-305)  (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 11-305)




    Sec. 11-305. Obedience to and required
traffic-control 
devices.  
    (a) The driver of any vehicle
shall obey the instructions 
of any official
traffic-control device applicable thereto

placed or held in accordance with the provisions of this Act,

unless otherwise directed by a police officer, subject to the

exceptions granted the driver of an authorized emergency 
vehicle
in this Act.

    (b) It is unlawful for any person to leave the roadway
and 
travel across private property to avoid an official
traffic 
control device.

    (c) No provision of this Act for which official

traffic-control devices are required shall
be enforced against 
an alleged violator if at the time and
place of the alleged 
violation an official device is not in
proper position and 
sufficiently legible to be seen by an
ordinarily observant 
person.  Whenever a particular section does not
state that 
official traffic-control devices
are required, such section 
shall be effective even though no devices
are erected or in 
place.

    (d) Whenever any official traffic-control device is placed 
or held in
position approximately conforming to the 
requirements of this Act and
purports to conform to the lawful 
requirements pertaining to such device,
such device shall be 
presumed to have been so placed or held by the
official act or 
direction of lawful authority, and comply with the

requirements of this Act, unless the contrary shall be 
established by
competent evidence.

    (e) The driver of a vehicle approaching a traffic control 
signal on
which no signal light facing such vehicle is 
illuminated shall stop before
entering the intersection in 
accordance with rules applicable in making a
stop at a stop 
sign. This provision does not apply to the driver of a vehicle 
approaching a pedestrian hybrid beacon. 

    (f)     Any violation of subsection (a) that occurs within a 
designated highway construction zone or maintenance zone shall 
result in a fine of no less than $100 and no more than $1,000.
