This happened to me in what used to be my favourite lot, on the street running south from Front by the Convention Centre and east out to Bay. I used to park in that lot inthe corner for anything going on south of Queen. Then one day I threw the pay receipt on the dash and it landed upside down - boom, $40 ticket. Not even sending them a copy of my receipt, for the date and time on the ticket, made a difference (of course not). Now I just try to avoid private parking lots in the cage.Quote:

I should put a sign on my car saying "by touching or affixing anything to my vehicle, you are agreeing to pay the sum of $40 usage fees to the vehicle owner" then when they ticket you, you take them to small claims court
yaya its farfetched ;p
You can park a motorcycle at any pay and display for free, also any meters if there are any left in the city. Private property, you have to pay.
If you park between 2 cars that are parallel, you will get tagged. If you park on the sidewalk, you will get tagged, unless you are on a moped.
Can someone tell me if there are more exceptions for scooters? I.e. Can scooters be parked on bike racks/ side walks (I have a Yamaha Vino)
Scooters are allowed to park on sidewalks and at bicycle parking areas.Quote:

What about at the beaches like at Ashbridges bay? It just recently became a pay and display parking lot. I got a ticket there already, and my friend got TWO of them in one day there for $110 each! He got raped!
Where the hell can i display my ticket though?!! Its not even an option for me! (I play vball there)
Now i am forced to drive my car to the beach to play vball. PISSES ME OFF. Even if I pay for a ticket someone will steal it on my bike :(
Is it a city ticket or private lot ticket?
If it's a private lot ticket, phone them up and tell them you bought a ticket and put it on your bike, someone must of stolen it.

If the lot you where in was a city owned lot with a ticket machine then you do not have to put a ticket on your bike, unless I've read the by-law incorrectly.
If it was a private lot, then no you don't have to pay the ticket as long as it's not an official city of Toronto parking ticket. If it's a private ticket, just watch out for collection agencies. Either way call and complain that you did pay and someone must of taken it from your bike.

Another variation on the question, although it might be answered in the mess of messages bout this, but...
where is this valid? GTA? Or a specific region?
It is answered in the title of the thread.
Ok, let me be more specific then. What is the "City of Toronto".Quote:

But if you still cannot figure it out and you really need to know:
"Its borders are bounded by Lake Ontario to the south, Etobicoke Creek and Highway 427 to the west, Steeles Avenue to the north and the Rouge River to the east."

Well naming something the City of Toronto hardly makes any specific (especially when you aren't living there). That concept aside, your follow up explaination is great, thanks. Now I have an idea where the City borders are. I can think of a few places to take advantage of this parking stuff!
Yippie!
I'm confused about parking on sidewalks - one post said it was only permissible for scooters (not motorbikes) and I see many scooters parked alongside bicycles.
BUT - what is the definition of motorbike? Could the cops or parking offices define the difference?
I have parked on sidewalks without problems up to now but got a ticket ($50) today which said infraction Code No. 338 "park on boulevard between roadway and sidewalk". I don't even understand the wording and I would love to know the definitions of "boulevard".
Can anyone fill me in? (Sorry I'm a newbie rider)
Does anyone park at UofT downtown? Where on campus are good spots to park??
Also, when you go to a mall, do you guys park in a parking spot or just up on the side somewhere? I often see bikes parked up against some random walls n stuff at malls. What's the rules regarding this?
