Bill > HB4220

This bill amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to establish a new maximum speed limit of 15 miles per hour on bicycle paths for various types of vehicles and bicycles, specifically including bicycles, low-speed electric bicycles, low-speed gas bicycles, motor driven cycles, and mopeds. The bill adds this provision as a new subsection (e-2) to Section 11-601, which outlines general speed restrictions throughout the state. By setting a uniform 15 mile per hour speed limit on bicycle paths, the legislation aims to enhance safety for path users by ensuring that all vehicles and bicycles operate at a consistent and relatively low speed, reducing the potential for accidents and conflicts between different types of path users. This speed restriction applies statewide and is part of the broader regulatory framework that governs vehicle speeds in urban and rural areas under different conditions and for different types of vehicles.
