13	13	3 represented in the General Assembly:
14	14	4 Section 5. The Illinois Vehicle Code is amended by
15	15	5 changing Section 11-601 as follows:
16	16	6 (625 ILCS 5/11-601) (from Ch. 95 1/2, par. 11-601)
17	17	7 Sec. 11-601. General speed restrictions.
18	18	8 (a) No vehicle may be driven upon any highway of this State
19	19	9 at a speed which is greater than is reasonable and proper with
20	20	10 regard to traffic conditions and the use of the highway, or
21	21	11 endangers the safety of any person or property. The fact that
22	22	12 the speed of a vehicle does not exceed the applicable maximum
23	23	13 speed limit does not relieve the driver from the duty to
24	24	14 decrease speed when approaching and crossing an intersection,
25	25	15 approaching and going around a curve, when approaching a hill
26	26	16 crest, when traveling upon any narrow or winding roadway, or
27	27	17 when special hazard exists with respect to pedestrians or
28	28	18 other traffic or by reason of weather or highway conditions.
29	29	19 Speed must be decreased as may be necessary to avoid colliding
30	30	20 with any person or vehicle on or entering the highway in
31	31	21 compliance with legal requirements and the duty of all persons
32	32	22 to use due care.
