Except when directed to proceed by a police officer or traffic
control signal, every driver of a vehicle approaching a pedestrian
crosswalk indicated by a sign marked "Stop for Pedestrian in Crosswalk"
shall stop before entering the crosswalk on the near side of the crosswalk,
if there is a pedestrian in the crosswalk or approaching the crosswalk
so closely as to be in danger, and shall remain stopped until the
pedestrian has completely crossed the roadway.
[Amended at time of adoption of Code (see Ch. 1, General
Provisions, Art. I)]
Where 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 close from the opposite half
of the roadway as to be in danger.

A. Where a sidewalk is provided and its use practicable, it shall be
unlawful for any pedestrian to walk along and upon an adjacent roadway.
B. Where a sidewalk is not available, any pedestrian walking along and
upon a street or highway shall walk only on a shoulder, as far as
practicable from the edge of the roadway.
C. Where neither a sidewalk nor a shoulder is available, any pedestrian
walking along and upon a street or highway shall walk as near as practicable
to an outside edge of the street or highway, and, if on a two-way
street or roadway, shall walk only on the left side of a roadway and
in such manner as to not interfere with the normal flow of vehicle
traffic. Any person walking along and upon a street or highway shall
do so as quickly as possible and avoid standing on the street or highway.
Standing on a street or highway is prohibited.
D. Except as otherwise provided in Chapter 625 of the Illinois Vehicle
Code (ILCS, Article 5, Chapter 625), any pedestrian upon a City street
or highway shall yield the right-of-way to all vehicles upon the roadway.
E. No person shall consume or possess any alcoholic liquor other than
in the original container with the seal unbroken while along and upon
a City street or highway or private or public parking lot.
F. 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. Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to
prevent a pedestrian wearing in-line speed skates from using a lane
designated for bicycles.

Art. I)]
