Understanding Section 182(2) of the Highway Traffic Act
Lately, we’ve seen Section 182(2) of the Highway Traffic Act being used more frequently in traffic-related charges. This section gives provincial and municipal governments the authority to place official road signs and markings to regulate traffic and ensure safety.
Under this law, all drivers, cyclists, and streetcar operators must obey legally placed road signs. Even if the specific sign isn’t listed on your ticket, the officer’s evidence in court will likely reference it.
