Re: Road 'Boundary' Lines

Yellow is specific to the left side = caution approaching vehicles or median, similiar to yellow cautionary signs (ie: road turns left ahead)

If the snow is that deep to not see a white line, it won't matter what colour is there, it wont be seen either.

If in fact stop lines are more slick, it is for the visibility of seeing them and stopping ...

Re: What to do if you witness an HTA infraction

an offence notice for an HTA infraction could be issued to the driver. Now the variables...
- are you willing to come to court and testify, should the driver challenge the offence notice?
- did you see the officer stop the vehicle, thus being the person driving at that time is now identified

Safety is priority #1...If the cars are moveable we get them off the road into a safe location. This prevents further collisions and prevents traffic congestion. There is absolutely no reason to block a lane/intersection etc.. if the vehicles can be moved to a safe location.

To what you described, sounds like the correct offence.

insurance card offence goes to the driver, even if owner is the passenger seat...as it is the driver who must surrender proof of valid insurance upon request of a police officer.
