RIGHT-OF-WAY
When two vehicles approach or enter an intersection from different roadways at approximately the same time, the driver of the vehicle on the left must yield the right-of-way to the vehicle on the right. This rule may be modified at through highways or streets and where otherwise inconsistent with the provisions of this traffic code.
(ILCS Ch. 625, Act 5, § 11-901) Penalty, see § 70.99
The driver of a vehicle intending to turn to the left within an intersection or into an alley, private road, or driveway shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle approaching from the opposite direction which is so close as to constitute an immediate hazard, but the driver, having so yielded, may proceed as soon as a safe interval occurs.
(ILCS Ch. 625, Act 5, § 11-902) Penalty, see § 70.99
Where stop signs or flashing red signals are in place at an intersection, or flashing red signals are in place at a plainly marked crosswalk between intersections, drivers of vehicles shall stop before entering the nearest crosswalk, 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 shall also yield the right-of-way to pedestrians within any other crosswalk at the intersection.
(ILCS Ch. 625, Act 5, § 11-903) Penalty, see § 70.99
(A) Preferential right-of-way at an intersection may be indicated by stop or yield signs.
(B) Except when directed to proceed by a police officer or traffic-control signal, every driver of a vehicle approaching a stop intersection indicated by a stop sign shall stop at a clearly marked stop line but if none, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, or if none, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway before entering the intersection. After having stopped, the driver shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle which has entered the intersection from another roadway, or which is approaching so closely on the roadway as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time when the driver is moving across or within the intersection, but the driver, having so yielded, may proceed as soon as a safe interval occurs.
(C) The driver of a vehicle approaching a yield sign shall, in obedience to the sign, slow down to a speed reasonable for the existing conditions, and, if required for safety to stop, shall stop at a clearly marked stop line, but if none, before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the intersection, of if none, then at the point nearest the intersecting roadway where the driver has a view of approaching traffic on the intersecting roadway. After slowing or stopping, the driver shall yield the right-of-way to any vehicle in the intersection or approaching on another roadway so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard during the time the driver is moving across or within the intersection.
(D) If a driver is involved in a collision at an intersection or interferes with the movement of other vehicles after driving past a yield right-of-way sign, the collision or interference shall be deemed prima facie evidence of the driver's failure to yield right-of-way.
(ILCS Ch. 625, Act 5, § 11-904) Penalty, see § 70.99
Notwithstanding the right-of-way provision in § 71.060, at an intersection where traffic lanes are provided for merging traffic, the driver of each vehicle on the converging roadways is required to adjust his vehicular speed and lateral position so as to avoid a collision with another vehicle.
(ILCS Ch. 625, Act 5, § 11-905) Penalty, see § 70.99
The driver of a vehicle about to enter or cross a highway from an alley, building, private road, or driveway shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles approaching on the highway to be entered.
