The notorious corner of Welland Ave. and Moore Ave in Moore Park is where the police harvest a bumper crop of fines. It’s a $60 hit for those caught turning right between 4 pm and 6 pm Monday to Friday. Of course, the bylaw preventing these turns isn’t really about preventing turns. The turns have no effect on traffic at the corner. No, the bylaw is about keeping home-bound rush hour traffic out of Moore Park. And it does that. But what about Victoria Day, a statutory holiday when there is no rush hour? And no rush hour traffic. Well, today the police were at Welland and Moore stopping and ticketing hapless Sunday drivers because they made the illegal turn. Does robo-ticketing like this bring the police into disrepute? Quite probably.
