Thanks again for your feedback. I enjoy the discourse. Note I mentioned verging on entrapment. Maybe not inducing - but condoning the offence through infraction issuance rather than remedying the reason why the offence occurs when the reason is known (e.g. design flaw, tree limb obstruction, etc.) a...

I will pass it on to the City. Expecting the police to report it is very hopeful. I got the ticket in Winter of 2008. Everything is still the same. Also this time of the year on your next drive check and see how many signs are obscured to oncoming drivers by vegetation (tree limbs, etc.). Doesn't st...

Thanks for your feedback. Looks like a single lane but really is 3 lanes wide at approach (including illegal parking at side) yet lanes are unmarked. Including the north direction lane the road is 4 lanes wide at the approach. Use Google Earth and it is quite obvious. Also I took on site measurement...

Cop no show

Case withdrawn. Cop didn't show. Nonetheless, the intersection (Stavebank Rd. S. and Port St. E. in Port Credit, Ontario) has inappropriate signage and obvious driver view problems. Specifically, multi-lane approaches with cars parked on right (as Stavebank Road S. ) should not be "all-way stop...

Plastic license plate covers

What is the deal with getting an 'obstructed license plate' charge for those plastic covers license plate covers. The cover was clear, not tinted, scratched or dirty. My plates were visible.

Where is this law hiding in the HTA? and does it pertain to these covers?

Thanks for more ammo. I will be at the intersection next week with a measuring tape or wheel and camera.

Ontario Provincial Standards - Cone of view @ distance

Also need OPS on specs for driver cone of view (COV) at prescribed distance and speed of travel on local road approaching intersection. Stop sign is likely out of COV. Can't find them @: https://www.raqsa.mto.gov.on.ca/techpubs/ops.nsf/OPSHomepage Where are they? Am I looking at the right source? He...

Thanks Bookm - few more questions

Thanks Bookm Clauses as below are applicable. In particular how would clause 7 pertain to a three way intersection where there is no road on the right - as in a 'T' intersection. In a strict interpretation of the regs, the only intersecting road is to the left and would be measured diagonally from t...

Disobey Stop sign - sign location suspect - need Ont. spec's

Got above charge at three way intersection. Stop sign location looks suspect as road is 2 lanes wide and the sign is very far to right. I am looking for the sign erection regulations/specifications particulary with respect to maximum allowable distance from road centerline at intersection. Didn't ev...
