|
| 8 | | (a) The Department shall adopt a State manual and and |
| 9 | | specifications for a
uniform system of traffic-control devices |
| 10 | | consistent with this Chapter for
use upon highways within this |
| 11 | | State. Such manual shall include the
adoption of the R 7-8 sign |
| 12 | | adopted by the United States Department of
Transportation to |
| 13 | | designate the reservation of parking
facilities for a person |
| 14 | | with disabilities.
Non-conforming signs in use prior to January
|
| 15 | | 1, 1985 shall not constitute a violation during their useful |
| 16 | | lives, which
shall not be extended by other means than normal |
| 17 | | maintenance. The manual
shall also specify insofar
as |
| 18 | | practicable the minimum warrants justifying the use of the |
| 19 | | various
traffic control devices. Such uniform system shall |
| 20 | | correlate with and,
where not inconsistent with Illinois |
| 21 | | highway conditions, conform to the
system set forth in the most |
| 22 | | recent edition of the national manual on
Uniform Traffic |
| 23 | | Control Devices for Streets and Highways.
