Highway Traffic Act s.136

Disobey Stop Sign charges in Mississauga, Ontario.

Quick Answer — Mississauga

A stop sign ticket in Ontario carries 3 demerit points and an insurance surcharge at renewal. Many stop sign charges involve disputed observations — whether the vehicle came to a complete stop, and how long the officer observed the intersection. These fact-specific issues make stop sign tickets among the more defensible minor traffic charges.

Almost no Mississauga stop sign charge involves a driver sailing through — it is a slow roll, and the dispute is whether the wheels ever actually stopped. That is a judgment made by an officer watching from an angle, at a distance, for a second or two, and where they were positioned is as much a part of the case as what the driver did. Point Duty Traffic Court Defence works Mississauga stop sign charges at the Burnhamthorpe Road court from exactly that question.

Failure to come to a full and complete stop at a stop sign. Three demerit points and an insurance impact — defendable on signage visibility, the officer's vantage point, and identification.

What the charge means

Section 136 of the Highway Traffic Act requires every driver approaching a stop sign to come to a full stop at the marked stop line, the crosswalk, or immediately before entering the intersection. A 'rolling stop' is not a stop within the meaning of the section.

ii.

Penalties

Set fine of $110 plus victim fine surcharge and court costs (approximately $160 total). 3 demerit points on conviction. Insurance impact is typically a 5–15% increase for three years.

iii.

Available defences

  • Officer's view of the stop line was obstructed
  • The vehicle did come to a complete stop, however brief
  • Sign visibility (obscured by foliage, weather, or another vehicle)
  • Identification of the driver
  • Charter — unlawful stop or detention
iv.

The process

Provincial Offences Court. Most matters resolve at Early Resolution with a reduction in fine or to a non-demerit offence.

How long does a disobey stop sign charge take in Mississauga?

How does the prosecutor handle disobey stop sign in Mississauga?

Peel prosecutors will resolve a matter either way. You can ask for an early resolution meeting, and the trial date is still a live opportunity to deal — a real difference from Toronto, where the prosecutors have been saying resolutions are not available on the date of trial. On a first offence the usual landing spot in Peel is a reduction to a lesser offence. Point Duty Traffic Court Defence works both openings at the Mississauga, Brampton and Caledon courts.

What else should I know about Mississauga Provincial Offences Court?

Reopenings can be emailed to the Peel Provincial Offences courts. That is worth knowing if you have dealt with Toronto, where a reopening has to be delivered in person and cannot be emailed. Peel has three separate POA courts — Mississauga on Burnhamthorpe Road, Brampton on Ray Lawson Boulevard and Caledon on Old Church Road — and your ticket goes to the one for the municipality where it was issued.
