After turning left from exit 69 onto main (after a green or on a fresh green) towards the university, you can skip every traffic light by going 68 km/h.

If you go 60, you'll hit a red at the hospital, if you go 65 you'll hit a red at the university. if you go 68, you can clear the university light and go onto the cootes entrance to university.

Enjoy

Tsk, tsk, tsk...

I doubt there is a hard rule stating not to ticket someone or pull them over unless they are 10 km/h.

there is. it exists because there is a law which also dictates that drivers are to keep pace with the flow of traffic (this being +/-10kmh of the speed limit)

I assume this only works when there's no traffic slowing you down.

But the fine would be so small they may not waste their time...
Anyway, I'm a terrible driver - always go towards the 10 below side of things. :.)

Boy, you commerce guys got too much time on your hands to actually record this stuff. Or did you just finish your Newtonian law of motion homework?

10-15-2012 at 05:56 AM

No...it's just something you figure out after the 940th trip to Mac...:.)

It is 60, but you were probably confused because nobody can step on their freaking gas pedals enough to actually GO 60. It's ridiculous.

OMG you noticed it too! i just figured around 70 got me through... but it works every time. Its amazing what you start to notice on the boring drive in every morning.
