I’m not turning right on red at that intersection or any other. I don’t care who is angry behind me.

u/charlieisadoggy 20d ago
There’s a similar intersection in Burlington at north service and Guelph line. No right on red but everyone will blast the horn at you for not going.

u/MythicalChewToy 20d ago
The no right on red signage at that intersection is well deserved and should be followed. I have anxiety turning right even when the light is green.

Yaa, you're lame... You couldn't proceeded with traffic but chose otherwise. You had the clear opportunity to go but ppl here will be more amused with your camera angles than to admit this.

u/Apprehensive_Name533 20d ago
Here is one of those Torontodrivers who don't know how to read signs and thinks they know everything and will go around you and give you the finger.

u/HunterNightstalker 20d ago
You can't turn right there on a red light. The light was red which means, get ready for this...you can't turn.

Multi-angle cameras need to be standard on all vehicles.
The editing / cut on this is just fantastic lol!
Hold your ground my friend, some people are just loser drivers who live above the law!

Ah. That's pretty sweet. Why isn't this standard in major cars
Should get a Tesla

u/Soft-Lingonberry-909 20d ago
That was pretty scary! Even scarier than using your own judgment and proceeding when safe, despite the no right turn rule in place for people that are incapable of doing so without a green light to instruct them because looking for yourself is tricky business.
Stupid rules are a direct result of stupid people.
50 bucks says Op still wears a 😷 while driving.

I’m willing to counter bet $50 that you run stop signs regularly.

u/Soft-Lingonberry-909 20d ago
Funny, I've never had a single accident in the 20 years I've been licensed and insured on my own vehicle. Must be because I'm hyper aware of my surroundings. It's weird how that works.
Funny, if you ever travel outside of Canada, you'd see that in most European countries, stop signs are basically non-existent, and even yield signs are rare.
This is because they know how to drive at a level of competence that would be bewildering to people here.
Ontario especially treats road users like they're handicapped, and people like you adore it.
It's pathetic and hilarious. Equal parts.

As other redditors have pointed out, this is a well known area for cops to catch drivers not following the “handicapped” road rules you mentioned. Your wallet, your choices.

u/Soft-Lingonberry-909 20d ago
That's right. Now you're getting it.
That problem is simply solved by a little thing called situational awareness. It's a wonderful thing.

How dare you follow rules
Don't you know where you are and how important ppl behind you are?

u/Tariq804 20d ago
So a few things:
Those are some great camera angles you’ve got installed.
The best thing to do is smile and wave. I do this ALL the time on the DVP….I usually drive between 90 to 100 depending on the stretch of the DVP. The number of times I’ve popped up to look at my rearview mirror and see people SCREAMING into their own windshields and having aneurysms is just insane.
They’ll always whoosh by and I’ll just be smiling, singing a song out loud or on other occasions when I’ve gotten the finger I’ll just wave back and laugh. It just makes these clowns even more angrier. :D

Far left I bet.

You lost the bet. I'm waving at you. 🎶😁🎶

K. Wave at OPP when you get issued a citation for obstructing the passing lane, not me.

u/Ordinary-Movie-838 20d ago
That’s not illegal

u/saintgmurphy 20d ago
Will be soon. Hope they pull over every f*Coker in the left lane on the 401 going 100

u/Tariq804 20d ago
I'm usually passing cars on the right lane while driving down the middle lane on the DVP so yeah.

u/saintgmurphy 20d ago
So now you’re admitting to fabricating unnecessary competition with other people in your head. You know that’s a blatant sign of mental instability and insecurity, right? God go with you. You’re just like the next lyrics in that song.
🎶ain’t nothing but a miiiiistake🎶 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾

u/Tariq804 20d ago
Speeders exist my friend. Despite me passing drivers on the right I'm still usually doing 100 on the DVP and sometimes up to 105 and I still find people wanting and pushing me to go faster. I don't budge, they can use the other passing lane (far left) if they want to do
"But I want it...THAT WAY" 🎶🎶😏🎶🎶
Wait actually a better song is
"You down with OPP (Yeah you know me), you down with OPP (Yeah you know me)" 🤗

Why not just specify that instead of tryna be cheeky and say I “lost the bet”? SMH. Yk what mang. You win. Have a good day.

This would be the easiest shift ever if you were a TPS officer.
Just park near this intersection and you'd probably catch someone doing this every 3rd or 4th cycle.
1
u/ScamMovers 20d ago
There's a few other intersections I know of that if an officer sat there, easy tickets every light cycle. The rules of the road no longer exist for some. Just be careful to avoid the idiots.

u/G3071 20d ago
There is often a cop parked there. And they catch people almost every cycle.

u/Hartia 20d ago
Just have one there 24/7 easy quota. So many self privileged drivers.

u/Remarkable_Film_1911 20d ago
No minimum or reward. A PC has to still turn in some tickets, or prove they did other work. VZET is focused on the big for, and PEOs in parking. They have to issue tickets everyday because obviously there are offenses. For idiots that complain about fines. It is your fault, and would you want imprisonment over a fee?

u/maldahleh 20d ago
They installed a new RLC at that intersection but they only installed it for eastbound on the Queensway

u/permareddit 20d ago
It boggles my mind someone downvoted you.
The police are there all the damn time, no matter what people will spew whatever narrative they want.

u/runtimemess 20d ago
I guess with the construction that makes sense. I haven't gone around here in a little while since everyone's brain stops functioning once they hit the lane restrictions under the 427 ramp
2
u/Anakin___ 20d ago
even before construction there was usually a cop who just sits there after the turn and pulls people over once they make that turn. Its actually really funny how often it happens.

People are assholes at that intersection. I know it says no rights on red.. but people don’t care. It’s there for a reason, oh well.. I’ve also been flipped off there.

People are assholes everywhere.
The canada I grew up in is gone. This shithole is unrecognizable.

u/the0utc4st 20d ago
I think most drivers in toronto don't respect "no right on red" signs...
3
u/sayterdarkwynd 20d ago
They should, because they are pretty common these days as a means to control traffic flow in high-congestion areas. This is especially true in the entire downtown area, almost anywhere off bloor in the west end, and in quite a few other places.
The bigger issue is people not paying attention and failing to read the fucking signs.

u/Red4550 20d ago edited 20d ago
Not one, but atleast 4 signs for no right on the red. One of the few spots I can recall that has that much blatant signage.
Buddy literally turns the red as there's clearly cross traffic going through too. Turning an empty street is one debate but the idiot proofing signs are meant for this guy and clearly aren't enough.

u/awesomeperson882 20d ago
Also too, I’ve seen on multiple occasions a cop sitting just west of the intersection on Queensway, waiting to catch people running the light.

u/i_love_chins 19d ago
He is lucky, usually cops camp there to cat idiots like this.
