SB3951

ROADS-BLUE REFLECTIVE MARKERS

Final Passage·5/22/26

Illinois SB3951 allows local governments to place blue reflective markers on roads to indicate fire hydrants or water supplies, but requires permits.

Illinois SB3951 amends the Illinois Highway Code to allow local governments to place blue reflective pavement markers on highways, streets, or roads to indicate the location of fire hydrants or water supplies. This measure aims to enhance visibility and safety for emergency services. However, local governments must obtain an encroachment permit from the Illinois Department of Transportation before placing these markers on state highways. The markers are intended solely for marking fire hydrants or water supplies and cannot be used for other purposes.
