What is Disobeying Traffic Control Device Under 625 ILCS 5/11-204?

Disobeying traffic control device means failing to obey traffic signals, stop signs, or other traffic control devices. This includes running red lights, failing to stop at stop signs, or ignoring traffic control signs.

Unlike simple violations, traffic device cases involve complex evidence including signal timing, device visibility, and officer observation verification. However, these procedures may contain technical flaws and constitutional violations that experienced defense attorneys can challenge to win cases.

The key to defending traffic device charges lies in attacking the reliability of observation evidence and constitutional violations during the stop.
