Default Speed traps in GTA

Please report any you see.
This week I've seen:
1. Eastern Ave just west of bridge over DVP and before lights at Sumach for westbound traffic. Officer has tripod mounted radar unit and is well concealed. Speed limit is 50km
2. At the top of the Bayview extension for northbound traffic. Officer has tripod mounted unit, is well concealed and is in the PharmaPlus parking lot monitoring traffic coming up the hill north of Nesbitt and the railway overpass. Speed limit changes from 60km to 50km in this section

Both locations getting lots of business!

I am using the POI feature on my GPS when I go to place that I am not familiar with. Saved my butt a few times and totally legal.

Webbie,

I took a quick look at that link and it looks good. Can you tell me if the zip file can be used on Garmin and Tom Tom devices. I'm looking to buy a unit during the holidays and compatibility with this info is a bonus.

It works on my Garmin Nuvi 660. I am not sure about tom tom.

The alert shows up only if my speed is higher than what's on file.

Bayview southbound just before the ramp onto lawrence. as well as northbound comming off lawrence. soutbound, they camp in the entrance to the Toronto French School parking lot. Northbound they camp in the crescent parking lot.

bathurst southbound on the bridge before davenport....its a 40 zone or 50 i think...make sure your doing that for the whole bridge otherwise they'll get you. they're in a driveway just after the bridge.

also...avenue road just north of eglington, before and after the skool both ways (don't kno what its called but there's a buch of highskool girls in uniforms so i'm assuming catholic skool of some sort). its a 40 zone most of the time cause of skool.

Eglinton Ave westbound at the bridge (train overpass) just East of Leslie St. This one is tried and tested. A true cash cow. Always open for business and line ups 2-3 deep waiting to be served.

1. Weston Rd. north of the 401 northbound or southbound anywhere until Finch. 50kmh. A friend of mine sets up his tripod or hides behind mailboxes. Business is very good.

2. Southbound 400 south of the 401 past Jane under the bridge after the speed limit drops to 70kmh.

3. Signet drive between Finch and Steeles. They hide in numerous industrial driveways.

Mayfield Rd & Highway 410

Kennedy Rd & Conservation drive to Kennedy Rd & Mayfield

Hwy 10 & Old School Rd

Hwy 10 & King Street

Hwy 10 & Boston Mills

Wait this is easier, basically all of Hwy 10 North of Mayfield Rd to Hwy 89. So if you're going to Blue Mountain don't go over 100-110km/h on Hwy 10.
