Re: Turning right on a red light from Multiple Right Turn La
I happen to know it's perfectly legal but I can't locate any specific section within the Highway Traffic Act regarding it. Assuming you turn into the correct lane, as Stanton mentioned... I figured it was, and I know to go into the far lane. Its common sense to me, should be to everyone, but I've s...

Never knew that, but that makes sense.

Re: Is this Careless or a Mistake?
I rear ended a car when it suddenly stopped in front of me and I had to stop but I ended up catching both the gas pedal and the brake pedal with my foot when I tried to brake (very large feet). When I realized that my car wasn't stopping as fast as it should, I quickly lifted my foot and reapplied ...

Re: Red Light Fail to Stop - Light changed to red half-way t
Well from reading what you said I say you should fight the ticket. From what you said about how he pulled someone over right after you it's pretty clear the cop was trying to meet a ticket quota. I'm not to sure on how tickets work as I have never gotten one, but I'm assuming they have a time they w...

Re: My stupid mistake
I was driving on a 2 lane road, and the bus was travelling in the opposite direction. I wasn't really paying attention, and I passed a stopped school bus with its lights on and arm out. I knew the law, but I made a dumb mistake. It was a 70km/h zone, and the bus honked at me but I'm not sure if the...

Re: Turning right on a red light from Multiple Right Turn La
My understanding is that yes, it's legal, assuming you turn into the correct (far) lane. Okay, thank you. I just wanted to be sure because some people told me traffic police (or what ever they are called) said that it isn't legal. I hate grey area's of the law like this. Logically it seems legal to...

Turning right on a red light from Multiple Right Turn Lanes
I'm now living in Saint Catharines, Ontario and the other day I came to this intersection. You could only turn left or right because you could not go straight through cause there was a one way street. There were two lanes on the street I was on. There was a right turn lane and a left/right turn lane...

Yellow Arrow
When there is a green light with a yellow left turn arrow. I was told by some people that if you're already in the intersection, you keep going and complete your turn but others say you stop. I'm meaning that the arrow was green when you entered the intersection, but turned yellow after you crossed ...

Railway crossing flashing lights
I got a question. When crossing a railway, I know you slow down, unless you hear a train, then you stop. But some of them have flashing red lights. Do you always stop for the lights, like you could almost be at the track and they could start flashing, you wouldn't be able to safely stop, so how woul...

Is this running an amber light?
This morning on my way to work and I had this guy riding my a**. I was doing the speed limit (50km) cause it was 7:20 am and I was a bit tired. I normally don't go more than 55 km in a 50 zone anyways. The guy was probably no more than 6 feet from my rear. I approached an intersection and the light ...

Re: What would you call this?
i would agree with you omega - fail to stop for amber or fail to stop for red light It'd probably be fail to stop for amber cause it didn't go red till he was completely passed the line and in the intersection. And when it went red, it was red for like a second, then went green for his side. I just...

Re: What would you call this?
If the signal facing him changed to a full green, he didn't really fail to stop for the amber. However, if traffic had to wait for him to clear the intersection, I'd call it "Left turn - fail to yield to through traffic," contrary to section 141 (5) of the Highway Traffic Act. Ok. I thoug...
