Pedestrians
(Arroyo, D-Chicago; Steans, D-Chicago) requires vehicles to stop and yield to a pedestrian in a crosswalk (instead of yielding the right-of-way by slowing down or stopping if need be) if traffic signs are not in place. Makes the same change for school days when children are present and so close that a potential hazard exists because of the close proximity of the motorized traffic and the traffic signals are not in place or in operation. Sent to the Governor.
