New Radar Trap on Highway 10

[Malks]

I'm not sure if anyone else has posted this, but last night on my way home I noticed a new location for OPP fund raising on Highway 10. One officer was on the pedestrian/bike bridge just north of Peel Road, hunched down behind the railing with his radar unit facing northbound traffic. There were two cruisers parked in a driveway farther north who would then chase down the vehicles spotted speeding as they come down the hill from Peel Road. When I went through there yesterday afternoon there was a third cruiser who had just pulled over a driver in a pick-up.

Keep an eye out for them, I think they will begin to use this location even more. They could easily catch speeders going south as well.

On the little bridge, eh? Creative I guess, by their standards.

Not surprised; it's near the bottom of a valley and the popo can see for a mile in either direction. But, I've seen them in the parking lots of the businesses near that bridge.

Highway 10 anywhere in Caledon = sit in the right lane and set cruise control (whether real or mental) at 95 km/h or a little slower than whatever people in the left lane are doing ...

95km/h is a lot slower than most on Hwy 10. Try not to get run over doing that.

I never have going 90, and I also don't worry about the big bad coppers coming after little old me.

Yep. That's why the cops are always patrolling that road. Always.

Don't want to get caught? Then never be the fastest one in sight and don't be near the threshold that the cops commonly use (i.e. 20 over). If that means everyone else is passing, so be it. They'll be the ones getting the ticket, not you.

good advice Brian they are always always always on 10. in my car I'd be moving right along with traffic 100 even up to 110+
but on the bike i'm always behind a couple of faster cars .

In the uk they have used cardboard cut out cop cars on bridges to get traffic below to slow down - for the past 10-20yrs I believe.

Just don't stop... easy enough of a solution.

Make sure you have gas before you decide to run!

Wonderful advice Sherlock

Please do share on how you plan to outrun the Motorola.

Just stumbled across this threat and wow, that Trail start off in Tottenham 200m from my house...i used it for a few km when i was commuting to Bolton with my bicycle, i had no idea it goes that far...

^ If I'm not mistaken it's a "rail trail", i.e. abandoned railway converted to a public trail. Excellent for bicycle rides due to solid surface, lack of traffic, nice scenery and no steep grades. There are dozens of those around GTA and they are pretty well distributed all over Noth America.
