 Law changed to ensure safety
of Pedestrians in Crosswalk
The City of Evanston has had a tradition of being a leader in the area of traffic safety. In the recent past, the Illinois State Legislature passed a change in the Rules of the Road as it pertains to pedestrians in crosswalks, under Illinois Vehicle Code Section 625 ILCS 11-1002.
The previous wording in the law stated that a driver of the vehicle could slow down or stop, if need be, to yield for a pedestrian in the crosswalk. The wording of the law now is specific and states that "a driver shall stop and yield the right of way to a pedestrian crossing the road way, within a crosswalk, when the pedestrian is upon the half of the roadway that the vehicle is traveling, or is approaching so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger."
Illinois Vehicle Code
