Wow 1557 Views.
How many of you had the same ticket but never contacted me to team up and have those signs properly positioned?
Here is the update:
Ive abandoned the case .After more than a year I cooled off .No need to throw more money and time, and try to beat them in their own game. Why risk to be humiliated again? All of them, judges ...

Finaly they told me my transcripts are ready it took more than a year !

Some updates –my life had a fail to stop on stop sign ticket – went to court –officer did not show up. Shes clear .My insurance did not go up –offence is not even mentioned in policy. So far so good. 8 month passed and no reply from the court in Mississauga .Im still waiting for court transcript .Should I call them?

Wow! 696 views it is getting out there.
I want it to mention, (probably most of you know about it) Google Street View is an excellent tool .I could see the intersection, and I could virtually travel along the road -amazing!
By the way Im still waiting for that disclosure. It has been 4 months. And yes I filed an appeal in Brampton.

Some update – I pass by that road last Friday, wanted to see how far is that last No Heavy Truck sign visable.Well it is visible from more than 60 meters, so far no excuse here.Intresting thing was, that the officer was there to, busy with a roll off truck. By the time I was passing by, 3 truck pass by one after another, coming from south true ...

Hello Lisa,
Let us know what happend at the court.

Thanks Traffic Law .I will .

Tank you Simon. I did not know that at the time of the trial. At the city of Mississauga website they say the points can not be spared, in fact they can be. I should have taken that deal. I was so pump up that Im not guilty. The problem is that this occupies my mind and takes its toll.

Sounds to easy ( suspiciously) to be true
If somebody knows definition for heavy trucks in Ontario Highway traffic Act please post

Thank you for the post Simon

The definition is for Heavy Vehicle , not Heavy trucks.

"heavy vehicle" means a vehicle, including a bus but not including a school bus, as defined
under the Highway Traffic Act, with a gross vehicle weight of 3,000 kilograms (3 tonnes)
or greater

Here is my point - I was cited braking this sign under Ontario Highway ...

Simon is there a definition of Heavy Trucks in Ontario Highway Traffic Act. Do you know it ?
Is there a By-law from the city of Mississauga with that definition. Do you know it ?
I could not find anything ?
I do found one from the city of Sault Ste Marie and one from Vaughan .They are different.

Thanks Chris for your post . I got all your points including the 60m distance for the sign to be visible.
Is there such think as reopening a case ?

Thank you Radar for the comments. If your interpretation of the sing 'Indicate right turn for service road
only ' is rite ,then I have made my point on the trial .

I have a single No Truck sign facing me ( out of the blue in the middle of the road) which prohibits me to go straight on Dixie road .The next sign No Truck on South Service Road ...

Please have look here http://www.flickr.com/photos/12964856@N08/4894533424/
The explanation for no truck sign is on a lamp pole 9 meter away from the sign, not under the sign. I could not find any regulation that govern those letter signs. Please share if you know.

Never mind .I got it . Congratulations.

Hey Mazda Let us know what happened

When to the court Friday .Ask for disclosure. Pay 25 $ deposit .They say it will take 6 to 8 months to receive it by mail. Found out that I have 30 days to appeal. They give you a simple form to fill out.
Does anybody went true an appeal process. Please share

Thank you !

That is not always the case Simon. I have been offered by the prosecutor to save the points when I plead guilty for disobey sign. Almost all plead guilty at that date. The JP refered to other Mather. I dont know how the prosecutor is doing it, may be he would charge me with braking a municipal By-law.

Thank you The Stig for that clarification. Do you know if they pass by-law for bilingual signs? Do you have a link to those by-laws or I have to buy them ?

Ohtat , would you let as know if you won or lost and how

Thank you Simon for the replay. I broth the issue of illegal parking on the trial .When the JP declare the picture I made on that cruiser irrelevant (it was on different date) I lost focus and could not finish my point.
My question was could I win the trial on the ground that the officer was parked illegally and stop me unsafe on the roadway ?
What ...

Thank you for reading my long and boring post I had a quote today on the phone for 1500$ and no guarantee. I will consult a paralegal. Yes I definitely need help to appeal .My advice to anybody who wants to go to trial is to get legal help. It does not matter you think you rite .It is their game and their rules -they will nail you. I was na¯ve ...

How did the appeal go ?Did you win ?What was the cost?Let as know

Ontario H.T.A 182(2). Disobey sign .No trucks. Dixie road S/B at south service road Mississauga ON. That is the way to QEW eastbound.

I though I could win! I was wrong.
