Ontario Highway Traffic Act

60 km/h speed limit, days, 1 marked cruiser, lidar. Officer is usually a half-block up Logan and uses lidar to track cars coming off the Gardiner Expressway. Will issue tickets for vehicles that were over 60 while still on the Gardiner ramp. Some additional speeding on a wide street as everyone roars toward the Beaches.

60 km/h speed limit, weekdays (usually in the morning), 1 officer with an unmarked vehicle, lidar, parked on the northwest corner of the intersection behind some shrubs. Watches southbound traffic on Leslie from a hiding spot across the street from the Esso Station.

50 km/h speed limit, days/nights, varies between 1 cruiser or multiple using lidar, sitting in parks at either end of the bridge. Long known as a speed trap area, as both Bloor and Danforth open up reaching the overpass and people floor it driving on the wide-open road.

You're right, R. Or at least that's what it's supposed o be. But I have seen some JPs allow friends to represent their friends, although the Justice of the Peace is well within his/her rights to not allow it.

100 km/h speed limit, all hours of day/night, 1 marked cruiser, radar/lidar, often parked behind/in front of bridge pillars in centre median. Consistent enforcement in the area around Highgate and Ridgetown along Hwy 401.

Also reported bear sightings in area.

60 km/h speed limit, usually weekend afternoons, 1 marked or unmarked cruiser, lidar. Officer tracks westbound traffic on Lawrence from the east side of the bridge over the DVP, cruiser is parked out-of-view on the on-ramp to the southbound DVP. Also officer tracks eastbound traffic standing on the west side of the bridge, cruiser parked in the ...

50 km/h speed limit, EVERY Sunday afternoon, 1 marked car parked in driveway behind bridge railing, lidar. Officers "hide" behind the railing on the right side the southern end of the Bayview bridge over the Don River, just prior to the ramp going uphill to Lawrence Avenue, monitoring southbound traffic. Enforcement is consistent and heavy due to ...

I do. They save hours. Except 90% of folks will have to have a 2 hour class to drill the roundabout etiquette into their brains.


Also they've been shown to reduce the severity of collisions and improve overall capacity versus traffic lights. I think they'd work in a lot of places, but, unfortunately, I think you're right about the etiquette ...

I found a few out of places sections when I read the HTA subsections mentioned... Maybe Im nuts but are they the proper subsections to have quoted for the offence comitted??


Short answer: Yes, BUT...

If the officer mis-matched the offence and the section or subsection, (looks like only one of them was missed), it can be amended at trial, but ...

Another HTA section that needs re-working. Why not just say "highway"?

Well, to avoid any confusion, toss that one; going with the two options that TC said are the best way to go: Quash on improper disclosure or bilingual defence.

They need to change that bylaw to about 150m.

Yeah no kidding. I don't even know why anyone would bother ...

Hmmm... so if it was Dundas Street (hwy 5), Markham Road (hwy 48 ), Yonge Street (hwy 11), Avenue Road (hwy 11A), Kingston Road (hwy 2), "King's Highway" might apply, depending on designation. However, none of them, AFAIK, have HOV lanes.

Regulations for high occupancy vehicle lanes - 154.1.

(1) Where a part of the Kings Highway has been ...

TC, reading 154.1 it appears to apply only to the King's Highway. Incorrect charge?

horus1219, which street did this occur on? There are several possible issues here that may help you fight the charge. Might want to go back and photograph the area with a time-date stamp on the photo so you can present it in court, as a starting point. With a ...

To fight the charge, send the ticket in pleading not guilty, and make a disclosure request. In the disclosure request, ask for an explanation and clarification of the charge.

154.1, I believe, applies only to the "King's Highway," at least if I read it correctly. This would be roads like the 404 or 403. I don't think a Toronto surface street ...

Theoretically... but in practice? We have motorists who have been in 40+ collisions and are still licensed. I think the demerit point system and enforcement should a "backstop" to ensure safe driving, not the primary method.

Besides, I think most people could use refreshers/pointers on driving every now and then. Doesn't mean that the re-testing ...

If "their respective lane" is taken completely literally, then wouldn't that make the centre lanes of a six-lane street basically uncontrolled?


Therein lies the problem. Too much obscure wording.

S. 144 should be re-worded. Also should be much more severe penalties for turning into the wrong lane at an intersection and disobeying yield sign ...
