But someone on a scooter can rip through there at full speed! Is your plate mounted properly? What is the plate search for?
It's like a 407 plate lookup fee. You don't have a transponder so they need to search a database to convert your plate number into a name and address. They add that as a line item (and I assume a very profitable one for all involved).

I bet everyone already drives 20, they do around here were any cameras are they are moving 10 below the limit.

They are doing construction in my area (for like the past year) and the other day I pulled up to a red light where police were directing traffic. The cop was waving me through, I pointed at the lights and shook my head. He got frustrated and walked over and said im waving you through, i replied you cant tell me to run a red, he said but im telling you too. I said but there is a camera! What happens in that case? I know moderators off topic!
That would be interesting. The cops in the camera center chuckling with glee as they fulfill their quota.
I've done the same thing in the US. Cop yelled at me. I'm on Ontario plates in the US, if I ran the stop sign, he'd probably yell at me and maybe give me a ticket. If cops want you to ignore traffic signs/signals, they should disable/bag them to make it very clear that they are sole authority. That would solve the redlight camera issues too as there would be no red light in the pictures so they couldn't issue tickets.
You are technically required to follow the lawful orders of a peace officer. If they are controlling the intersection then you should be following them over the posted signs (signals). Court would be a fun one tho.
I dunno what to say about that other than that's stupid.Received my first camera charge yesterday - Town of Georgina speed cameras (Church St. Westbound - West of Shoreline Pl.) def in operation now
38km/h in 30km/h Community Safety Zone - so much for whole "10 over" thing, so be aware..
$58.25 Total charge FYI (Includes "Victim Component Fee" $10 (wtf?) and Lic Plate search $8.25)

I've seen these in other smaller communities as well. Sometimes I forget to see the "coming soon" part and look around for the camera

I was driving on a long straight four lane (plus centre turning lane) road last week with a 40 km/h speed limit, zero pedestrians and a speed camera. It was painful.

Has anyone been on cambellville ave lately. The residents there are gonna be ******! Speed bump overkill! So dumb because it punishes the people that actually live there and have to deal with it every time they leave there home!
Oakville is installing all these weird small islands infront of schools? I assume they are traffic calming attempts. Wait till some old granna misjudges one of the chicanes and mounts one of the ramped curb thingies and takes out some people.

I saw a Oakville works truck parked infront of one the other day and the guy was smiling while eating his lunch! So great! Needs some kind of award and bonus for his exemplary service to the community!
