While stopped at the light I made a quick decision to turn right into Square One to visit someone, and was caught in the police sting. Had to wait in a line up of cars for the ticket. One cop stopped me, and he also gave me the ticket. There was another cop at the location, but he was just leaving. There are right turn signs and no right turn signs at the intersection. The no right turn signs are temporary signs mounted on a steal frame. Hoping the conflicting signs will help in court? Thanks for any help.

Generally they cover or turn the unneeded or conflicting signs around. Could there be a chance to argue the signs were not officially placed by the ministry? Maybe the construction workers moving down the highway from sight to sight placed the signs. You are likely right. Is there a rule for which sign to follow when there are conflicting signs. I could not find it. I was not intending to turn when I approached the intersection, so did not read all the signs before the intersection. While stopped at the lights I decided to turn into Square One, checked the intersection that all was clear, no signs prohibiting the turn were visible at this point, and made the turn.

In my opinion they should have covered the right turn sign.
Would I fight it? Absolutely!
Would I win? Maybe, maybe not.

The right turn sign is a lane sign referring to a lane that is clearly blocked off. Not a hope a JP will buy that.

The officer never sent disclosure, he didn't show up in court, case dismissed. Found in the Ontario Traffic Manual - Temporary Conditions, that in drawings the no right turn sign is shown at the corner of an intersection, so it would be visible to a car stopped at the lights. The signs at this intersection were about a car length back from the intersection at the beginning of the island. Called the works department and was told for short duration projects, they do not necessarily have to cover conflicting signs. This was to be a short duration project, but turned into a long duration project. Was looking forward to fight my case in court, but am happy with the easy win.

I just received a parking ticket for parking outside of the space, to me that is crazy because I was parked in the corner of the lot, was not blocking anyone or a through way, so I thought there is no harm. I've seen people park there all day and not get a ticket.

I was hoping to receive some advice on the unfortunate situation that I currently find myself in.
Last night, at 7pm, I was at an intersection waiting for the oncoming traffic to clear so that I could turn left. I thought that I was waiting at the intersection behind only one other vehicle (a van)…
So i received my first speeding ticket...officer claimed I was doing 73 km/hr in a 50 zone. He did reduce it to 63 - should fight it? The ticket did not mention a cross road. Its just states N.B on Caledonia. I don't believe d points are affected but I'm worried about insurance.
Exactly a week ago today, I was caught going 135 in an 80, on Highway 3 near Windsor, Ontario. I know this is just completely idiotic and there hasn't been a minute since I was charged that I haven't been smacking myself for this. I'm very, very remorseful and just overall torn about…
I was making a left turn, didn't have headlights on and was putting on my seatbelt at a time. Really stupid thing to do, was very stressed out and just feel dumb about it. What am I facing, and what impact will it have on my insurance? On ticket it just says Careless driving, there are no details..
Late Saturday afternoon, December 1st, I entered the Shops at Don Mills with my vehicle and drove due East as I needed to make a quick deposit in the TD Bank. I made a left hand turn onto the side street and on the right side where I parked, there is a condo under construction with all the usual…
Hi, I just received a notice in the mail with pictures of my car going through a red light. Ticket is in my husband's name, as he is the car owner, but I drive this car. I'm guilty as can be... can't remember doing it, but apparently went right through intersection after light turned red. I…
