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.

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.

I was pulled over today on highway 401, for going 129km/h. I was passing a car and pulled back into the far left lane, but did not slow down fast enough. Just my luck, I was in a posted 80 km/h construction zone and the officer told me that I was going 129 km/h, making me 49km/h over the speed…

As shown above, I (red box) stopped at the stop sign, there was also a school bus (yellow box) at the stop sign with lights flashing. The stop signs on the bus were not facing me, so I thought it would be ok to move now that the yield is with me. So, I did and the bus driver honked a…
I got a ticket for failure to surrender insurance because I did not have my new insurance stubs with me, just a bunch of expired ones. My policy number has not changed, so I asked the officer to just run the policy number so I could prove that I was in fact insured. He said they don't have that…
