(A) Definition. For the purpose of this schedule, the following definition applies unless the context clearly indicates or requires a different meaning.
SCHOOL CROSSING SIGNAL. A permanently mounted electrically operated signal device equipped with two-way, two-color (red and yellow) signal heads, together with a standard sign reading “School Crossing,” by which, at predetermined times and when actuated by the push button, traffic is directed to stop so as to permit schoolchildren to cross the street or highway safely.
(B) Stop required. Whenever the red lens of a school crossing signal is illuminated by rapid intermittent flashes, drivers of vehicles shall stop before entering the nearest crosswalk at an intersection or at a limit line when marked or, if none, then before entering the intersection, and pedestrians within or entering the crosswalk at either edge of the roadway shall have the right-of-way over vehicles so stopped. Drivers of vehicles having so yielded the right-of-way to pedestrians entering or within the nearest crosswalk at an intersection may proceed but shall also yield the right-of-way to pedestrians within any other crosswalk at the intersection. If, in the event a school crossing signal is erected and maintained at a place other than an intersection, the provisions of this section also shall be applicable, except as to provisions which, by their nature, can have no application.
(C) Crossing location designated. School crossing signals shall be erected at the following locations; provided, that if such locations are under the jurisdiction of the State Department of Public Works and Buildings, the erection of such signals shall be subject to the approval of said Department: on the right-of-way of the state highway known as Illinois State Route 111, in the village, which said location is at the intersection of High Street in the village with said state route and which exact location shall be designated by the Division of Highways of the state.
