North York, Ontario Speed Traps

Hwy 400/401 overpass at Wilson Ave (between jane & weston). Unmarked police car parked on sidewalk between highway support columns.

1 officer hiding behind columns with hand held RADAR gun. Very difficult to see in shadows of highway

50 km/h speed limit

Anywhere around the large Catholic School even when school is out and at Night. In Both directions.

Willowdale Ave, east of Yonge St, south of Steeles Ave. It continues south until Sheppard Ave. All along the way there are many, many little side streets. A lot are not easily seen from a distance or have trees concealing them, making for the perfect hideout. I really consider Willowdale Avenue one of the granddaddies of speed traps because not only do cops frequent this road, they have dozens of little streets to choose from. I have never been caught myself, but have been on the street countless times, either spotting a cruiser on a side street, driving by one who’s already stopped someone, and even seeing a cop race out from his/her hideout, lights flashing, pulling people over. That’s how I know to take it easy. The posted speed limit is 50km/h but rarely do people follow it (all told not an overly-strict limit because there are houses/small businesses on either side). Cops use radars and lasers and can zap you from a distance OR even as you’re driving passed the street they’re sitting on. So basically this road is a speed trap in its Entirety.

During after school hour i.e. 3 .m. to 4 p.m. On your right hand side. Going downhill, pass after Bowan Ct. before Garnier Ct. The Laser triple is sitting at the entrance of Saint Joseph College. It is easily fall into overspeeding when you are going downhill with a speed limit 50kmh.

Three Traps…one heading North on Don Mills road, before York Mills, there’s a church on the right hand side, they setup radar there. The second is north of York Mills, 2 lights north, Radar setup at the corner of Duncan Mills and Don Mills. The third is heading South on Don Mills, one lights South of Duncan Mills, before you get to York Mills. AM and PM.
