Re: Red Light Camera Ticket- Early Resolution
Signage is certain Ontario must be in both French and English.
If it isn’t, it may be possible for the charge to be withdrawn.
The key is that the municipality must have a bylaw accepting this condition in their municipality. Windsor is one such place.

Re: Might have passed school bus stop.
Another reason to always have a dash cam recording.
If you can prove any of the following, you could get the charge withdrawn:
A) the stop sign must be fully flipped out from the side of the bus;
B) was there a raised median beside the bus;
C) was the bus the proper distance from the intersection

Re: no disclosure - made a u-turn at a no u-turn intersection
It may have been 1 year but it is 18 months now.
If you cause any delays within that 18 months, it doesn’t extend it.
If the Crown causes any delays, that’s good for you and it’s their problem … it doesn’t extend the 18 month period.

Lester B. Pearson airport.
Does Ontario’s HTA apply on Toronto Pearson airport roads ? Signage is not even close to conforming to the regulations.
I think there might be a federal airport act than governs airports in Canada.

Re: Accessible parking permit-court summons-HELP!
As bend mentioned, check if the spot was marked according to the regulations. In many municipalities, the sign must be permanently fixed into the ground or affixed to a structure. It cannot be on a movable stand or just a painted symbol on the ground.

Re: Crossing Tracks with Flashing Railway Lights Ticket?
bend … you said: “There's only a few charges where that's an option and railway crossing infractions aren't one of them”.
Please list the other charges.
Thanks

Re: Disobery Stop Sign - Fail To Stop issued with hospital/CAMH campus
It sounds like you may have been on hospital property.
If so, I’m under the impression that much of the Highway Traffic Act is unenforceable.
Maybe someone with more HTA experience could comment.

Can a parking ticket be amendment at any time after it is issued ?
If a municipality issues a parking ticket and the indicated by-law section of the offence is incorrect, can they amend if you tell them it is wrong ?
