Disobey Stop Sign charges in Toronto, Ontario.

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.

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.

• 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

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

Toronto runs three Provincial Offences courts, not one — Toronto South on Front Street East, Toronto East on Markham Road, and Toronto West on Eglinton Avenue West. Which one hears your ticket is set by where it was issued. Summary criminal charges go to the Toronto Courthouse at 10 Armoury Street. We appear at all four.
