Canadian traffic question

Can anyone confirm that a cop stopping vehicles for speeding tickets in the middle of a bridge is against the traffic rules?

Cant help ya, ive never been to the great white north but it sure seems dangerous, especially on a bridge with a very narrow "shoulder"

Actually even worse - right in front of the split where the bridge forks right and left. Very dangerous with probably 30 feet of sand and dirt collected in front of it as it always does, and just like you said - very narrow shoulder.

You live in Michigan and never been to Canada???? Wow. Just crossing the border and traveling on our roads would be a sweet treat. And don't worry about pisssing off a driver up here. We don't carry guns on our person. I cut off a 1/2 ton truck in Florida with my F250 and a 35ft fifth wheel attached and thought that truck was going to pull a gun on me. He followed me for 5 miles to rip me a new one and got half way out of his window to tell to pack my Fckg bags and go back to where ever in Hell I came from. If I was in Canada, all I'd get would be a blast from a horn and that would be the end of it.
Come on up. We'll treat you right.

They can stop you anywhere anytime. You have the right to carry on and pull over in a place that is safe to do so. You may have to roll down your window or if on a bike indicate with your hand that you intend to follow his instructions and indicate that you will pull over "over there" If you can't pull off of the road far enough that it's safe, you can even carry on to the next off ramp to clear a highway.
"Been there , done that"
Got say though, in the States, If I get pulled over, I go EXACTLY where they tell me to and leave my hands on the steering wheel until they are satisified that I'm not reaching for a gun in the glove box (which is where I keep the ownership and insurance slips for the vehicles)
