What is the definition of an intersection?
the law isn't clear
does it count as running a red light if i am passed the white line and a part of my car is in the pedestrian crosswalk on the street?
or is being past the white line all that is required to be considered inside the intersection and therefore not considered to be failing to stop at a red light.
the law isnt clear where an intersection is
Re: What is the definition of an intersection?
Section 144 defines"intersection" for the purpose of that section and describes where you must stop. It's very clear.
Re: What is the definition of an intersection?
so what does that mean? if someone has breached the white line but not breached the crosswalk, it counts as running a red light?
Re: What is the definition of an intersection?
Yes. When there is a stop line you must stop "at the sign or roadway marking indicating where the stop is to be made."
If you go over it, you could be charged with the red light offence.
Re: What is the definition of an intersection?
On Soudan east off Holley going east (toronto). I always wondered about this sign/road line.
At dunfield there is a stop sign on the hydro pole about 3 meters before the stop line.
The stop line is equal with the middle of a driveway.
Most cars just slow down anyway (not really stopping)but I was always curious about the correct place to stop.
So I guess it is the stop sign.

Re: What is the definition of an intersection?
This is actually the section for signalized intersections, not stop signs.
Stop signs are covered under section 136
Where the stop sign is posted usually has no bearing on where you are supposed to stop.

@viper1 are you talking about this http://goo.gl/maps/ucy2i
Re: What is the definition of an intersection?
From there turn left and go east. At dunfield you will see a similar sign. The white stop line ends in the middle of a driveway.
No worries just curious.

Hi everyone. I'm asking for a friend who has a question of interpretation.
He was ticketed for using a hand-held device. He contends that he was acting within the exemption provided under Subsection 14 (1) of O. Reg. 366/09, which reads as follows (emphasis added):
Exemption for pressing buttons

Hey guys i just wanted to know what speeds you see others do on the roads on a regular basis. As we all know no body drives 100 km. It seems they only hit that speed twice once on the way up and once on the way down.
it seems the De Facto limit on the 401 is about 120-130. But lately i dont know if…
On June 10, 2017, I was pulled over by an OPP on the 403 heading WB and told I registered 136km/hr. I kept chit chat to a minimum and took my ticket and went on with my day. I later requested my disclosure and did not receive it until a week before my Oct. 27 court date, and so I had my date…
Anyone know any more information? Apparently kathleen wynne mentioned trying to introduce legislation after more than 20 years of no speed cameras. My guess is that it wont happen, since they've tried before many times to bring it back after it was abolished.
The other day I was given a ticket for speeding 119 in a 90, on highway 17 near Marathon, ON (Speeding ticket capital of the universe, BTW). The officer claims to have "clocked" me using the vehicle mounted radar at 121 KMH and dropped it (presumably to lower fine and demerits).
I was not going that…
Hi everyone,
I posted this in the 3 Demerit Section and haven't received any
responses.
I received a failure to stop at an amber light ticket on April 17, 2009. At my First Attendance Meeting I asked to read the police officer's notes and remember thinking how ridiculous they were and the difficulty…
I was on the right side of the road going straight when a pedestrian waved down the taxi driver in the lane next to me. He pulled over to the right without any notice or signalling and hit me with the side of his car.
There were many witnesses but I immediately had a concussion and did not think of…
Hello,
My mother was driving EB on a 4 lane street (2 lanes EB, 2 lanes WB).
She was in the left hand lane and started a left hand turn so as to enter a side street, crossing WB traffic. There was NO intersection. She hit a cyclist who was heading WB. Police where called but none showed up. My…
If the speed limit is 50, and you do 100+, not only do you get 6 points. Your car gets impounded for a week, and your license suspended for 7 days, along with a hefty fine of at least $2000. The penalty is actually the same as for racing. The law came in effect on October 1, 2007. Remember -…
I was driving westbound on Hwy. 8 earlier this month in North Dumfries Township, approaching the Cambridge city limits. The weather was clear and the roads were dry. I noticed a vehicle on the shoulder on my side of the road, pointing towards me. This didn't concern me right away, as it is a rural…
