LRB9208358DHmb
1 AN ACT in relation to vehicles.
2 Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
3 represented in the General Assembly:
4 Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by
5 changing Sections 15-102 and 15-107 as follows:
6 (625 ILCS 5/15-102) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 15-102)
7 Sec. 15-102. Width of Vehicles.
8 (a) Except as otherwise provided in this Section or this
9 Code, the total outside width of any vehicle or load thereon
10 shall not exceed 8 feet.
11 (a-1) The total outside width of a recreational vehicle
12 as defined in Section 1-169 may exceed 8 feet 6 inches by no
13 more than 6 inches on one side of the vehicle if the excess
14 width is attributable to appurtenances, including retracted
15 awnings.
16 (b) Except during those times when, due to insufficient
17 light or unfavorable atmospheric conditions, persons and
18 vehicles on the highway are not clearly discernible at a
19 distance of 1000 feet, the following vehicles may exceed the
20 8 feet limitation during the period from a half hour before
21 sunrise to a half hour after sunset:
22 (1) Loads of hay, straw or other similar farm
23 products provided that the load is not more than 12 feet
24 wide.
25 (2) Implements of husbandry being transported on
26 another vehicle and the transporting vehicle while
27 loaded.
28 The following requirements apply to the
29 transportation on another vehicle of an implement of
30 husbandry wider than 8 feet 6 inches on the National
31 System of Interstate and Defense Highways or other
-2- LRB9208358DHmb
1 highways in the system of State highways:
2 (A) The driver of a vehicle transporting an
3 implement of husbandry that exceeds 8 feet 6 inches
4 in width shall obey all traffic laws and shall check
5 the roadways prior to making a movement in order to
6 ensure that adequate clearance is available for the
7 movement. It is prima facie evidence that the
8 driver of a vehicle transporting an implement of
9 husbandry has failed to check the roadway prior to
10 making a movement if the vehicle is involved in a
11 collision with a bridge, overpass, fixed structure,
12 or properly placed traffic control device or if the
13 vehicle blocks traffic due to its inability to
14 proceed because of a bridge, overpass, fixed
15 structure, or properly placed traffic control
16 device.
17 (B) Flags shall be displayed so as to wave
18 freely at the extremities of overwidth objects and
19 at the extreme ends of all protrusions, projections,
20 and overhangs. All flags shall be clean, bright red
21 flags with no advertising, wording, emblem, or
22 insignia inscribed upon them and at least 18 inches
23 square.
24 (C) "OVERSIZE LOAD" signs are mandatory on the
25 front and rear of all vehicles with loads over 10
26 feet wide. These signs must have 12-inch high black
27 letters with a 2-inch stroke on a yellow sign that
28 is 7 feet wide by 18 inches high.
29 (D) One civilian escort vehicle is required
30 for a load that exceeds 14 feet 6 inches in width
31 and 2 civilian escort vehicles are required for a
32 load that exceeds 16 feet in width on the National
33 System of Interstate and Defense Highways or other
34 highways in the system of State highways.

6 pounds that is designed to afford clear and
7 unobstructed vision to both front and rear.
8 (2) The escort vehicle driver must be
9 properly licensed to operate the vehicle.
10 (3) While in use, the escort vehicle must
11 be equipped with illuminated rotating,
12 oscillating, or flashing amber lights or
13 flashing amber strobe lights mounted on top
14 that are of sufficient intensity to be visible
15 at 500 feet in normal sunlight.
16 (4) "OVERSIZE LOAD" signs are mandatory
17 on all escort vehicles. The sign on an escort
18 vehicle shall have 8-inch high black letters on

23 highway, the escort vehicle shall travel
24 approximately 300 feet ahead of the load. The
25 rotating, oscillating, or flashing lights or
26 flashing amber strobe lights and an "OVERSIZE
27 LOAD" sign shall be displayed on the escort
28 vehicle and shall be visible from the front.
29 When only one escort vehicle is required and it
30 is operating on a multilane divided highway,
31 the escort vehicle shall travel approximately
32 300 feet behind the load and the sign and
33 lights shall be visible from the rear.
34 (6) When 2 escort vehicles are required,
-4- LRB9208358DHmb
1 one escort shall travel approximately 300 feet
2 ahead of the load and the second escort shall

29 that are of sufficient intensity to be visible at
30 500 feet in normal sunlight. If the load on the
31 transport vehicle blocks the visibility of the amber
32 lighting from the rear of the vehicle, the vehicle
33 must also be equipped with an illuminated rotating,
34 oscillating, or flashing amber light or lights or a
-5- LRB9208358DHmb
1 flashing amber strobe light or lights mounted on the
2 rear of the load that are of sufficient intensity to

8 service with the approval of local authorities or an
9 appropriate public body authorized by law to provide
10 public transportation. Any vehicle so operated may be 8
11 feet 6 inches in width; or
12 (3) When a county engineer or superintendent of
13 highways, after giving due consideration to the mass
14 transportation needs of the area and to the width and

16 of buses wider than 8 feet will not pose an undue safety
17 hazard on a particular county or township road segment,
18 he or she may authorize buses not to exceed 8 feet 6
19 inches in width on any highway under that engineer's or
20 superintendent's jurisdiction.
21 (e) A vehicle and load traveling upon the National
