I’d quote it but it comes back in a weird formate. It basically says to wait “no less than 120 seconds” then proceed as if the light were a stopsign.
I don’t know what you are supposed to do if the municipality is larger than 2,000,000 inhabitants, however (see text in link)
Copy and paste formatting works OK on my computer:
3.5. In municipalities with less than 2,000,000 inhabitants, after stopping as required by paragraph 1 or 2 of this subsection, the driver of a motorcycle or bicycle, facing a steady red signal which fails to change to a green signal within a reasonable period of time not less than 120 seconds because of a signal malfunction or because the signal has failed to detect the arrival of the motorcycle or bicycle due to the vehicle's size or weight, shall have the right to proceed, after yielding the right of way to oncoming traffic facing a green signal, subject to the rules applicable after making a stop at a stop sign as required by Section 11-1204 of this Code.
