Bill > HB3404

This bill amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to require the Department of Transportation to install a lighted stop sign at any intersection where two stop sign violations have occurred within a three-month period, specifically if those violations resulted in a fatality or caused great bodily harm. The legislation builds upon existing provisions that allow transportation authorities to designate stop intersections and erect stop signs, but adds a new mandatory requirement for enhanced signage in locations with a demonstrated history of serious traffic safety incidents. By mandating lighted stop signs in these high-risk areas, the bill aims to draw additional attention to intersections where dangerous traffic violations have previously occurred, potentially reducing the likelihood of future serious accidents. The bill maintains existing protocols that require written approval from county engineers or highway superintendents for road signage, while introducing this specific new safety measure focused on preventing repeated dangerous traffic violations.
