Hello all I got pulled over in December 2017 for making a right turn at a street with no right turn during 730am - 930am I went last year to go to trial hoping the prosecutor would lower to a bylaw infraction but no luck from either the cop or prosecutor. Pretty much told me, "I could lower it to a TMC but out of my x years of doing this, I can tell you there isn't one." I wasn't prepared at all as she was asking for a section, so instead she said you can ask to move your trial date, so here we are... Now to prepare, i found out the TMC I would ask to be charged would be § 950-504. Turning movements. A. Prohibited turns. When official signs to that effect are displayed, no person shall in any intersection or portion of highway set out in Schedule XXIII in § 950-1322, while proceeding in the direction or emerging from a property set out in Schedule XXIII, turn a vehicle in the direction set out in Schedule XXIII, during the times and/or days set out in Schedule XXIII. But I found online, the sign i disobeyed was the below. BY-LAW 221-2017 https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/bylaws/2017/law0221.pdf after doing some digging, I noticed they had a new by-law set in July 2018 BY-LAW 1171-2018 https://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/bylaws/2018/law1171.pdf Could this be enough to throw the case out since the sign isn't even updated with the new sign? The disclosure clearly states 730am-930am thanks all!

A. Prohibited turns.
When official signs to that effect are displayed, no person shall in any intersection or
portion of highway set out in Schedule XXIII in § 950-1322, while proceeding in the
direction or emerging from a property set out in Schedule XXIII, turn a vehicle in the
direction set out in Schedule XXIII, during the times and/or days set out in
Schedule XXIII.
But I found online, the sign i disobeyed was the below.
No. The sign was correct at the time of the alleged offence. The fact that the by-law was changed subsequently does not affect the validity of the charge. You may have difficulty having the HTA charge changed to TMC, as municipal by-laws are relied upon to set the prohibited days/hours that are referenced in s. 182 of the HTA.

My boyfriend got a ticket for parking in a fire route...apparently. The reason I say that is becuase there were no signs on the side of the road he parked on that read "Fire Route", or any other sign for that matter.
As far as I know, the route is the side of the street the sign is on. I srtated…
