Hey guys i just started a thread here so we could share common speed trap locations on major 400 Series highways. i don't know of anything in particular. The only 2 things that seem to work for me is always look under the overpass and slow down under and near bridges, don't speed continuously. And constantly watch your mirrors and the behavior of other vehicles. Another that i have noticed is often now officers like to wait on the highway. Instead of having to get out of the car and sit on the side of the road which i am sure is dangerous. I know their vehicles have always on radar facing the back and maybe the front that say how fast an object is approaching. So next time your in the left lane or approaching a vehicle quickly give your beams a flash to see if the bumber has anything reflective on it.

- From what i hear around london (carnage alley) and the windsor area is heavily enforced. I have heard it is a 2 lane road on each side with a grass median which would be perfect for an officer to wait in the middle to check for speeders. - Apparently highway 400 on the way to Orillia and Barrie is where they use the plane and is heavily enforced. (ALOT of people speed here i have seen with my own eyes). - Also on the 401 Near exit 279 there is a service station and a truck stop they sit in the truck stop and radar cars going by and will come after speeders. - Admin pointed out in guelph near #6 getting on and off the 401 is a bad place aswell. Any other tips appreciated!

We have a thread similar to this, except for all of Ontario, including the 400-series. Here's the linky: http://www.ontariohighwaytrafficact.com/topic450.html with lots of speedtraps mentioned.
I was at my parents' house in Mississauga early this week, and my mother told me about this SUV which always parks down the street for four to six hours a day, headlights on and the occupants inside. When she takes her afternoon walk, she will usually see a man and a woman inside smoking or…
Last week, around 9:30 at the Britannia water purification plant (Ottawa), undercover cops put on their lights. I was outside of my mom's vehicle (van) about to go for a simple #1 in the bushes (even had a bunch of tissues in my hands) when one officer asked me what I was doing (my bf was also…
We are living in the age of digital video. HD 720p and 1080p CRYSTAL CLEAR Video. If a picture is worth a thousand words, then a video is worth a million.
I had video evidence for a case but it was not accepted. I apparently did not submit it properly/ at the right time. Despite this I had my ticket…
According to current regulations, no electric car can be driven in Ontario (and anywhere else in Canada except BC). Do you find it somewhat ridiculous that, despite all the fanfare about the environmentally friendliness talk, and high gas prices moans, we cannot use the most…
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…
I might be moving from Manitoba to the Ottawa area.
My question is, I drive a 4x4 truck and my summer tires stick out beyond the fenders about 1.5-2inches. Is that illegal in Ontario? If so will installing fender flares take care of the problem? Also the truck has True dual exhaust (2 pipes from…
Okay so while at school today i parked on a residential street in Hamilton Ontario. the person in front of me did not pull up very far so i was forced to park fairly close to the driveway of the house i was in front of. I got out to make sure they had plenty of room to drive out if they wanted to,…
Just wondering if I can get some help on what to do for this ticket. I have a court date on August 17th. I simply cannot afford this. I haven't had an offence in years, and pay attention to my speeds now. One night when I was too focused on the road and not the speedometer, I get pulled…
I got pulled over for doing 147 in a posted 90 zone on hwy 17 heading east towards Ottawa where I live. My car was impounded for 7 days and the officer took my licence. I'll probably go with one of those traffic ticket places. I don't feel like driving to North Bay 4 or 5 times.
