Re: Beautiful speed trap in downtown Toronto

We'll see. I'll update the thread after I have my meeting with the prosecutor (still waiting for a date). Ultimately, I have difficulty seeing the legality of giving out a ticket to someone for something that doesn't exist. It's not a 50 zone. You can't give someone a 58 in a 50 zone if that 50 does...

Re: Beautiful speed trap in downtown Toronto

The interpretation Ive always seen the Courts take is that the sign is valid as long as it would be visible from 60 meters back. In other words, regardless if you just turned onto the roadway or not, as long the sign would be visible to approaching traffic 60 meters down the road, it meets the requ...

Re: Beautiful speed trap in downtown Toronto

Hmmmm. Your story makes me wonder, "Under what conditions can the urban speed limit be set LOWER than 50 km/h?" I've seen the limit lowered to 40 km/h in a school zone, which seems to make good sense. But there aren't any schools where the OP got nabbed on Davenport south of Dupont, so wh...

Beautiful speed trap in downtown Toronto

A few weeks ago, I was driving Eastbound on Dupont and turned right onto Davenport (southbound). Dupont is a 4 lane street with a 50 km/h speed limit. Davenport southbound is also a 4 lane street but happens to be a 40 km/h zone and not 50 km/h zone (much to my surprise). I was pulled over for doing...
