Re: HTA vs. Bill 31 - Yielding to pedestrians crossover/crosswalks

I believe the fact that you were making a right turn a signalized intersection would negate the requirement to have to wait until all pedestrians have cleared the intersection. As noted in the information you provided - "This law does not apply to pedestrian crosswalks at intersections with sto...

Re: Disobey Sign HTA 182(2) No Right Turn 7-9am

I meant adjacent approach, not adjacent lane.

Re: Disobey Sign HTA 182(2) No Right Turn 7-9am

Whether one sign supersedes the other is the part that I don't know. I suspect that the turn prohibition is a "traffic calming" measure as there is a through movement ban for the same time frame on the adjacent lane. I didn't look to see if there was a left turn ban the other way. This is ...

Re: Disobey Sign HTA 182(2) No Right Turn 7-9am

I took a look at it on Streetview and in my opinion there are some problems with how this is signed. The curb lane has a sign that says Right Lane Must Exit. This is an information sign. There are pavement markings that designate it as a right turn lane. Similar to the sign, they have no legal juris...

Re: Tricky Intersections

The way you are thinking about it is the correct. If these lights were located just to the left of the exit access, anyone could turn left even if the light was red (just don't hit the pedestrians). The fact that the lights are further removed from the access doesn't matter, since the stop bar is lo...

Re: Tricky Intersections

The pedestrian signal is in a poor location. They would have been better moving it towards the entrance driveway. This would have allowed the stop bars to be a lot closer to the signal. It would have also eliminated any potential conflicts when the light is red. Anyone turning left out of the school...

Re: Fire Route Ticket - Exemption/Route Not Designated

I can't speak to the medical piece, but assuming what you checked is current, I would challenge the legality of the Fire Route.

Re: Disobey Sign & Interfere with Traffic?

The HTA is the overarching document, bylaws are the details so to speak. I should have been more specific in my original post. What you want to see is the schedule from the Traffic Bylaw that lists all the prohibited turns in the municipality. This turn prohibition needs to be listed there, if not, ...

Re: Disobey Sign & Interfere with Traffic?

The one other thing you may want to check out is whether this left turn prohibition is by-lawed. It appears that the turn prohibition is to a private drive and not another public road. If it is private, I'm curious as to how the prohibition is by-lawed. Street to street is easy, but I've questioned ...
