In Illinois, it is now the law that you must stop for pedestrians in a
crosswalk, even when the signals say otherwise. (It was, until last
year, merely required to yield for them.) This does not happen where
there are lights. It does occasionally happen at unsignalized
intersections, where there's a sign in the middle of the street
reminding drivers of the law.
