Legal Question in Traffic Law in Illinois
Is crossing guard a pedstrian?
I rec'd citation for making right hand turn on red when posted sign said "No right hand turn on red while pedestrians present"
The only person present was a crossing guard standing on the grass near the intersection. She was not crossing. There were no children or others present.
Is the crossing guard a pedestrian under these circumstances?

Hello. That is a ticket trap!
It is best not to make a right
on red at this type of
intersection because the
officer is able to argue that
at a particular time of day,
children are likely to be
present.....even though you
may not see them all the time
at that location and time....
....wait for the green to go.

You have an interesting question; and the facts, in my mind, present a defense. You should retain an attorney to represent you.
