device specifically applicable to him, unless otherwise directed by
a police officer.
B.

established in accordance with 625 ILCS 5/11-306, but at all other
places pedestrians shall be accorded the privileges and shall be subject
to the restrictions stated in this article.
A.
When traffic-control signals are not in place or not in operation, the driver of a vehicle shall stop and yield the right-of-way to a pedestrian crossing the roadway within a crosswalk when the pedestrian is upon the half of the roadway upon which the vehicle is traveling, or when the pedestrian is approaching so closely from the opposite half of the roadway as to be in danger. This subsection shall not apply under the conditions state in § 285-139B.

Whenever any vehicle is stopped at a marked crosswalk or at any unmarked
crosswalk at an intersection to permit a pedestrian to cross the roadway,
the driver of any other vehicle approaching from the rear shall not
overtake and pass such stopped vehicle.

Whenever stop signs or flashing red signals are in place at an intersection or at a plainly marked crosswalk between intersections, drivers shall yield right-of-way to pedestrians as set forth in § 285-86.
D.
No pedestrian shall suddenly leave a curb or other place of safety
and walk or run into the path of a moving vehicle which is so close
as to constitute an immediate hazard.
A.
Every pedestrian crossing a roadway at any point other than within
a marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk at an intersection
shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles upon the roadway.
B.
Any pedestrian crossing a roadway at a point where a pedestrian tunnel
or overhead pedestrian crossing has been provided shall yield the
right-of-way to all vehicles upon the roadway.
C.
Between adjacent intersections at which traffic-control signals are
in operation, pedestrians shall not cross at any place except in a
marked crosswalk.
D.
No pedestrian shall cross a roadway intersection diagonally unless
authorized by official traffic-control devices; and when authorized
to cross diagonally, pedestrians shall cross only in accordance with
the official traffic-control devices pertaining to such crossing movements.
E.
Pedestrians with disabilities may cross a roadway at any point other
than within a marked crosswalk or within an unmarked crosswalk where
the intersection is physically inaccessible to them, but they shall
yield the right-of-way to all vehicles upon the roadway.
The driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to any
pedestrian with clearly visible disabilities.
Pedestrians shall move, whenever practicable, upon the right
half of crosswalks.

No person shall stand on a highway for the purpose of soliciting
employment or business from the occupant of any vehicle.

D.
Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, any pedestrian upon
a roadway shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles upon the roadway.

Upon highways where the maximum posted speed limit is 45 miles per hour or less, and during the period from sunrise to sunset, a pedestrian who is 18 years of age or older and wearing in-line speed skates may travel upon the roadway as near as practicable to an outside edge of the roadway. Pedestrians wearing in-line speed skates upon a roadway may not impede or obstruct other vehicular traffic. Pedestrians wearing in-line speed skates shall be subject to all other rights and duties under this Article XVII. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prevent a pedestrian wearing in-line speed skates from using a lane designated for bicycles.
The driver of a vehicle shall yield the right-of-way to any
pedestrian on a sidewalk.
