AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Vehicle Code to allow individuals operating bicycles to proceed through a stop sign without stopping, provided they slow to a reasonable speed and yield the right-of-way to pedestrians, other traffic, and oncoming traffic that poses an "immediate hazard," which is defined as a vehicle approaching the intersection with enough speed and proximity to create a danger of collision. However, this exception does not apply at intersections with active railroad crossings, for individuals under 18 years of age solely operating a bicycle, when exiting an alleyway, or at a four-way intersection where only two stop signs are present.
