I was wondering if anyone could help me with this one... I made an illegal left hand turn on a small side street in Toronto between 3:30 and 6:30 one day at 4 oclock. I had no idea this was an illegal turn when the officer told me, as he claimed there was a sign posted. I actually got out and went back to look for the sign. There was in fact a sign there, but it's the positioning of the sign that is bothering me. The city installed the sign on a pole that has no parking signs on it already. They installed it on the top of the pole. Now, two houses before the sign there is a tree on someones front lawn, making seeing the sign difficult as you approach. My question is- is there a law in the act stating how signs should be posted? With their heights, etc? I drove by this sign for 4 months- and never saw it until the officer pointed it out. I am usually at the corner at 3pm each day, so this was the first time I had been there at that time of day. Any help would be great, as I am going to court this week to challenge this, and can't seem to find the information I need.

All signs errected must be visible. I you believe that the view of this particular sign was obstructed or not visible to the approaching drivers you may have a good chance at trial. Ontario Regulation 615 made under the Highway Traffic Act set out particulars you looking for.

I hope I can paint the picture with the accuracy that the truth deserves. I have no intention of just beating a ticket.. but more like beating a really unfair ticket. You decide!

In June at 401 London and Wellington I got hit twice, speeding which I didn't realize I was doing and cell phone. The Officer made me open my purse and show him my phone. I was going to meet a Rep of my Company in Kitchener, he called I answered. WRONG! The Officer wasn't even nice. My record…
I'm going to preface this with a little concern....I know that at least one moderator on this forum is likely a co-worker of the officer who tagged me. I'm hoping that by being involved here, this moderator is already acting unbiased towards incidents he/she is not directly involved in. Also…
I received a ticket the other day that has my wrong name, wrong address and wrong set fine amount. Is the best thing to do default on it and hope it is quashed and if it isn't file for appeal as per London v. Young ?
Also for an incorrect offence or an offence "not known to law." as an example :
