No problems on the DVP south this morning and it seems like when it ends like 800m north of the south-west merge people still avoid it. Problem becomes that the HOV doesn't start again until past Yonge exit, and people wait at the last minute to get out of it. After that, it's extremely...
Here's the official definition:
For Westerly/Northbound: "A point 800 metres north of Eastern Avenue W-N ramp bullnose and a point 800 metres south of Highway 404/401 bullnose"
For Easterly/Southbound: "A point 1200 metres south of Highway 401 W-S ramp bullnose and a point 800 metres north of...
How many times is this going to be covered? Lakeshore, DVP, Gardiner. Does not include any other highway. The signs on the DVP even have a motorcycle on them.
This is the official document that lays it out: http://www.toronto.ca/legdocs/mmis/2015/cc/bgrd/backgroundfile-78679.pdf
I've had an Overlord Prime jacket and Icon Super Duty 2 gloves for years. The velcro on the gloves is the only problem I had with them and they got a lot of wear. Eventually it gave out and they tend to not stay closed, so I replaced them this year (with Dainese). They actually lasted through a...
Lmao, go back a page - the authoritative source is the by-law amendments passed by city council on March 31/Apr 1/Apr 2. I already printed a copy out and will be carrying it with me should I get hassled.
That Appendix is different from the one on another file I had looked at. It didn't make sense to me since it was all about removing left turns and that sort of thing. Looks like those are the correct Appendix and seems to confirm that DVP/Gardiner will allow motorcycles on the HOV!
You are reading it wrong because it only applies to what's listed in Appendix 2 and Appendix 3 in the original recommendations which do not list any highways. For everyone quoting me saying it doesn't apply to 400 highways - what do you think surface routes means? Not highways.
You're misinterpreting the language, that clause pertains to the previous defined item, "High Occupancy Vehicles", so it's HOV containing min 3 _and_ buses, taxis, motorcycles and GCV
Surface route HOV lanes are open to motorcycles. Print this out and keep it with you incase you get hassled: http://app.toronto.ca/tmmis/viewAgendaItemHistory.do?item=2015.PW2.3
That PDF from the City of Toronto is interesting, but they're recommendations. Anyone have the actual by-law amendments that were made?
Edit: I've reached out to one of the contacts listed on the document to see if they have the actual amendments that were put in place.
Edit 2: Found it...
What's the ticket for driving in HOV? Does it affect insurance?
Answer my own question: The penalty for improper HOV lane use is a fine of $110 and 3 demerit points.
Excellent creepy addition there.
Anyways: You were on a black Monster 800, I was on my black 696, we were chatting on Pottery Rd round 4:30pm the other day. Shoot me a message, have a question for you
Ducati's have improved but they're not low maintenance and you're going to get reamed when you do have to get it done. Riding an 899 in stop and go traffic like you'll get on the bridge will probably melt the bike.
You also have to consider how damn nice Sea to Sky highway is and if you plan on...
Haw haw. Yes making fun of the Terblanche 749/999 is an easy target :P
I don't hold anything against those bikes on their own, but they're pretty awful compared to their predecessor. In any case yes, the flames are why I posted it
