50 Road is a road the runs over the QEW at essentially the border between Stoney Creek and Grimsby.

Further downt he road from that location is the Falls Niagara Falls.

The one day I travel that said highway I dont bring my scanner. We went to Syracuse and I 'heard' it kinda isnt legal to carry one there w/o a Ham licence?

I did see the plane, I think further south in Niagara region.

The OPP has one plane they own and another they lease for speed enforcement. What used to be acceptable; 15 - 18 kilometers over, is now fair game. And 50 plus over and you are subject to a week without your vehicle and license. Plus the fine. Not good for a trucker's bottom line. Like they said in the song "convoy'...." they even got a bear in the air....". Safe motoring.

They have been doing the circuit lately. I heard them last week in a couple of different spots in the Eastern region. Like last year they were talking to ground units by VR03 input and patched into the West Zone Traffic channel (2HWY02). Also they give updates to the comm centre on Sim11 before they go anywhere.
