144(9) from a yellow warning sign?
The sign located at the northeast corner of Lakeshore Blvd and Bathurst is a standard no left turn sign, however its background is yellow. Beneath it says "No left turn from Bathurst to Fleet St."
My understanding is that signs with a yellow background are warning signs and not regulatory signs.
Can anyone comment?
It looks to me like the regulations say the sign must have a white background to be enforceable.
The sign that I apparently broke the law on is posted on Bathurst at Fleet Street, for motorists heading north - http://imgur.com/MNrp4BZ
As you can see, heading west on Lakeshore, and proceeding on Fleet Street, this sign is not visible - http://imgur.com/SkxSE9H
Furthermore, this new yellow sign, located at Bathurst and Lakeshore, is obstructed by the yellow caution sign to yield to pedestrians. The sign was erected (obviously recently) on the same post as the Art Gallery sign in the second picture above. It is visible in the last 10 feet approaching the intersection.
Do I have a valid defence here?
The signs are confuzing but the lanes are clearly marked.
It is hard to turn onto lakeshore (left) but suicide to try fleet.
Is that what you did?

They probably never thought anyone would do what you did.(very dangerous) The traffic (on fleet) going east Gets a green arrowbasher22 wrote:I was travelling west on Lakeshore, and proceeded onto Fleet Street. The sign with the yellow background is new, and does not appear in those street view images.
to go north on their turn and would not think of traffic from where you were. It is possible S/B traffic has a green arrow too.(not sure)
I hope you get off the ticket but I hope either way you don't do that anymore.
