Thanks again for your feedback. I enjoy the discourse. Note I mentioned verging on entrapment. Maybe not inducing - but condoning the offence through infraction issuance rather than remedying the reason why the offence occurs when the reason is known (e.g. design flaw, tree limb obstruction, etc.) and clearly rectifiable to the enforcement agency/body (i.e police). Please take no personal offence from my comments, but, with all due respect, (and most importantly for your service) the political body will never say point blank to do so. It is often quite costly to rectify design issues and you c...

I will pass it on to the City. Expecting the police to report it is very hopeful. I got the ticket in Winter of 2008. Everything is still the same. Also this time of the year on your next drive check and see how many signs are obscured to oncoming drivers by vegetation (tree limbs, etc.). Doesn't stop police from handing out tickets for whatever the sign prohibits or regulates. Again they want $$$$$. In fact I got out of a ticket many years ago for just this reason. I told the officer when he pulled me over that I would see him in court if he gave me a ticket as the sign was obscured by a tree...

Thanks for your feedback. Looks like a single lane but really is 3 lanes wide at approach (including illegal parking at side) yet lanes are unmarked. Including the north direction lane the road is 4 lanes wide at the approach. Use Google Earth and it is quite obvious. Also I took on site measurements to confirm the imagery. It is very wide. Your right re: the missing stop line, it was one of my additional arguments. Your right drivers should be prudent. However, we often drive in and on unfamiliar areas and roads, respectively, hence, the need for common and conspicuis sign/signal locations, s...

Case withdrawn. Cop didn't show. Nonetheless, the intersection (Stavebank Rd. S. and Port St. E. in Port Credit, Ontario) has inappropriate signage and obvious driver view problems. Specifically, multi-lane approaches with cars parked on right (as Stavebank Road S. ) should not be "all-way stops" (see Ontario Traffic Manual - Book 5 - pg. 20) and at a min. distance of 60m and greater (see Sec. 45 @ http://www.canlii.org/en/on/laws/regu/rro-1990-reg-615/latest/rro-1990-reg-615.html#BK23) the stop sign on Stavebank approach is outside of the 10 and 40 degree driver cones of view (see O...

What is the deal with getting an 'obstructed license plate' charge for those plastic covers license plate covers. The cover was clear, not tinted, scratched or dirty. My plates were visible.

Where is this law hiding in the HTA? and does it pertain to these covers?

Thanks for more ammo. I will be at the intersection next week with a measuring tape or wheel and camera.

Also need OPS on specs for driver cone of view (COV) at prescribed distance and speed of travel on local road approaching intersection. Stop sign is likely out of COV. Can't find them @:

Where are they? Am I looking at the right source?

Help appreciated.

Thanks,

Thanks Bookm Clauses as below are applicable. In particular how would clause 7 pertain to a three way intersection where there is no road on the right - as in a 'T' intersection. In a strict interpretation of the regs, the only intersecting road is to the left and would be measured diagonally from the sign to the road edge a distance exceeding 15metres. This may work. Thoughts? 7. A stop sign shall be erected on the right side of the highway, facing approaching traffic, at a point not less than 1.5 metres and not more than 15 metres from the intersecting roadway or the nearest rail at a railwa...

Got above charge at three way intersection. Stop sign location looks suspect as road is 2 lanes wide and the sign is very far to right. I am looking for the sign erection regulations/specifications particulary with respect to maximum allowable distance from road centerline at intersection. Didn't even see the sign and went right through the intersection making a left hand turn from left lane. Also cars parked on right hand side of road close to sign - obscuring the sign from oncoming traffic. Checked HTA on elaws can't find specs. Need to put evidence together. Please help!! Trial next week.
