Toronto, Ontario Speed Traps

Cruiser has been there for a few hours on the east side of Markham Road . It’s between Nugget and Finch opposite
2200 Markham Road

Police recently started setting up a tripod towards southbound traffic on Dufferin just south of the Dufferin Mall. I only see them in the mornings (while driving north).

One to three cruisers hide in the parking lot at the end of the Bloor Street Viaduct in the Eastbound direction (i.e. just before the DVP onramp). They take turns hiding behind a sign with their radar and aim to catch speeding vehicles in the right lane: drivers making their way to the DVP.

At the top of Sentinel Road, just before the intersection at Pond Road, and sometimes further south on Sentinel or along Pond Road, police hide on side streets. Speed limit is 40 but everyone speeds. It is a great place to fill ticketing quotas.

With the recent speed limit reduction from 70 km/h to 60km/h along the entire route it is now a common scene to see radar at various points along the road. Most traps are set to nab you when traveling Southbound. Some of the more frequent spots are Southbound as you round the bend and pass under the bridge approaching Rosedale Valley Road, can’t see them at all until you come around and then it is already too late. Often several lasers are set-up here to keep the tickets rolling. Also they often set-up just past the Brickworks, when travelling South, also nabbing you as you round a bend. When traveling Northbound they sometimes set-up right at the on ramp to the DVP or around the bound after driving under the on ramp underpass. Easy to go 75+ along here with only one light from Pottery Road to Rosedale Valley and minimal traffic to go along with everyone being accustomed to the previous 70 km/h speed limit.
