Gollllleeee! Our government loves the figure $85.00I was SHOCKED & DUMBFOUNDED to read that riding your bike across a crosswalk is an $85 fine!
http://www.mto.gov.on.ca/english/pubs/cycling-guide/section5.0.shtmlHTA 140(6)/144(29) - No riding in crosswalks
- walk your bike when crossing at a crosswalk. Set fine: $85.00
- HTA 75 (5) - Bell
- a bike must have a bell or horn in good working order. Set fine: $85.
- Hope you haven't broken any bad laws lately!
Hi Gene,
ReplyDeleteGreat newsletter. It's also encouraging to see an active blog.
About your blog on $85 fines for riding along a crosswalk: Have you
heard of Mississauga's pilot project for crossrides? MTO has given
their blessing on it and we have a few implemented at four-way stops.
I think this summer we'll look at putting a crossride in at a
signalled intersection.
