So I am leaving the Downsview Flea Market on Sunday Jan 15 at 2pm and I am turning right from Carl Hall Road onto Sheppard Ave. West. There are no other cars on the road and a cop is pulled up on the grass area and walks onto the street to point me over. He says that there are 3 signs for no right turns on the red. It was sunny and I honestly didn't see them. This was my first time in this area. He didn't let me explain, just took my license, proof of ownership and insurance, went to his car for 10 minutes and then comes back and says you made a right turn on the red light and there are 3 signs, you have disobeyed the signs. Totally turned my $1 purchase at the flea market into a $111 purchase. I am very mad. He is sitting there waiting to catch people when clearly if the signs were properly posted he wouldn't be there cashing in!!! He then says that I have 15 days to decide if I want to fight it. Help! What should I do???? Any advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you!

It comes out of downsview base onto sheppard.Just east of Keele. I am not sure if it is a private road or it may be covered under federal? The signs may not be valid?(not sure) The road is there though a few movie companies and a major recyclers there. Cheers Viper1

not sure about google maps even being close.Maybe because it is an army base they cannot show all? There is a road going to sheppard lights and all. It is difficult place to figure out what address is what.almost as hard for me to find as the net crime office of opp.lol If you are on sheppard east of Keele and look south ,at the lights, you will see the flea market sign.

I believe you can see the road on the satellite map, at the intersection of Tuscan Gate & Sheppard. I'm guessing Tuscan becomes Carl Hall on the other side of Sheppard. I can see one no right on red sign on a traffic light on the west side of the road. It looks like it should be visible to traffic, but no idea where the other two are.

Do sign's fall under the same rules posted on an army base as outside the base? It might depend on where the signs are posted? I am not sure. Cheers Viper1

pulled over leaving a survey in guelph. After arguing with the officer for about 10 minutes, he mentioned something being wrong with my truck. Told me to put on my emergency brake, and i did. Told me to put it in gear, and i did, truck did not move. Told me to hit the gas, and i did and the truck…
Got two very heavy tickets -- for failing to stop for a school bus, and for using a handheld device. Was running late in a morning rush traffic in Toronto and apparently passed a school bus on the opposite side w/o noticing its signal. A few meters after that I stopped behind the other cars waiting…
I recently received a ticket for proceeding contrary to sign at an intersection. While there are other issues with the offence (sign is not visible until 10ft from intersection, officer wrote wrong license plate number on ticket) my biggest question is about the sign itself.
I posted here a *while* back when I first got my speeding ticket, and I've been fighting it forever. Anyway, long story short - I went and had an appeal and both the prosecutor and the Judge agree that I have valid grounds to appeal on, but what we're arguing is whether the correct remedy is a…
My wife had an auto accident back in May. It is gradually being dealt with by our insurance company ( by the broker actually). My question is about the legal power of the insurance code OAP1. Evidently this set of rules is the Ten Commandments for the insurance companies and the adjustors seem to…
What is the requirement for stopping when a school bus is traveling down the roadway, initiates the flashing red lights while still moving but has not yet stopped? If a motorist is traveling through an intersection (through the free-flow approach, minor-street stop controlled) and an oncoming…
In 2005, the government passed legislation that enabled the introduction of variable speed limits at some point in the future. It didn't take effect right away, so it sat waiting for "proclamation by the Lieutenant Governor." Just by chance... I was reading the HTA earlier while browsing this…
I was on my way to work on a divided four lane highway. I was in the right hand lane following the flow of traffic. There was a slower car ahead of me and I wanted to change lanes and maintain my speed. When I looked in my left side mirror, I notice a red car going pretty fast in the passing…
So i got charged with Hand Held Device, just want to ask everyone if i could use this as my defence
It was midnight, I was dropping my fiance to pick up something on north bound Yonge st (near church) with my emergency lights on, Officer came and asked me to move along so i went up a few streets and…
