2175	2175	4 to such crossing;
2176	2176	5 5. A railroad train or railroad track equipment is
2177	2177	6 approaching so closely that an immediate hazard is
2178	2178	7 created.
2179	2179	8 (a-5) Whenever a person driving a commercial motor
2180	2180	9 vehicle, as defined in Section 6-500 of this Code, vehicle
2181	2181	10 approaches a railroad grade crossing where the driver is not
2182	2182	11 always required to stop but must slow down, the person must
2183	2183	12 exercise due care and caution as the existence of a railroad
2184	2184	13 track across a highway is a warning of danger, and under any of
2185	2185	14 the circumstances stated in this Section, the driver shall
2186	2186	15 slow down within 50 feet but not less than 15 feet from the
2187	2187	16 nearest rail of the railroad and shall not proceed until he or
2188	2188	17 she checks that the tracks are clear of an approaching train or
2189	2189	18 railroad track equipment.
2190	2190	19 (b) No person shall drive any vehicle through, around or
2191	2191	20 under any crossing gate or barrier at a railroad crossing
2192	2192	21 while such gate or barrier is closed or is being opened or
2193	2193	22 closed.
2194	2194	23 (c) The Department, and local authorities with the
2195	2195	24 approval of the Department, are hereby authorized to designate
2196	2196	25 particularly dangerous highway grade crossings of railroads

2209	2209	2 not less than 15 feet from the nearest rail of such railroad
2210	2210	3 and shall proceed only upon exercising due care.
2211	2211	4 (d) At any railroad grade crossing provided with railroad
2212	2212	5 crossbuck signs, without automatic, electric, or mechanical
2213	2213	6 signal devices, crossing gates, or a human flagman giving a
2214	2214	7 signal of the approach or passage of a train or railroad track
2215	2215	8 equipment, the driver of a vehicle shall in obedience to the
2216	2216	9 railroad crossbuck sign, yield the right-of-way and slow down
2217	2217	10 to a speed reasonable for the existing conditions and shall
2218	2218	11 stop, if required for safety, at a clearly marked stopped
2219	2219	12 line, or if no stop line, within 50 feet but not less than 15
2220	2220	13 feet from the nearest rail of the railroad and shall not
2221	2221	14 proceed until he or she can do so safely. If a driver is
2222	2222	15 involved in a collision at a railroad crossing or interferes
2223	2223	16 with the movement of a train or railroad track equipment after
2224	2224	17 driving past the railroad crossbuck sign, the collision or
2225	2225	18 interference is prima facie evidence of the driver's failure
2226	2226	19 to yield right-of-way.
2227	2227	20 (d-1) No person shall, while driving a commercial motor
2228	2228	21 vehicle, fail to negotiate a railroad-highway grade railroad
2229	2229	22 crossing because of insufficient undercarriage clearance.

2433	2433	12 cancellation of the restricted driving permit. The Secretary
2434	2434	13 of State may, as a condition to the issuance of a restricted
2435	2435	14 driving permit, require the applicant to participate in a
2436	2436	15 designated driver remedial or rehabilitative program. Any
2437	2437	16 conviction for a violation of this subsection shall be
2438	2438	17 included as an offense for the purposes of determining
2439	2439	18 suspension action under any other provision of this Code,
2440	2440	19 provided however, that the penalties provided under this
2441	2441	20 subsection shall be imposed unless those penalties imposed
