Hey guys, so with Pearson airport's new rules about picking up and dropping of at the curbside, I want to hear how you choose to pickup and drop off your friends, family, or relatives?

For those unaware Pearson airports new fine is a $75 ticket for stopping at the loading and off-loading curbside at Terminals 1 and 3.

From the website:

For loading and offloading, you may stop briefly outside the Arrivals or Departures areas at either terminal. Note, waiting is not permitted.

I'm curious what your thoughts are about the wording as its a little confusing where it says you can't stop or wait, but then says you can stop briefly in the same paragraph.

Edit: Thank you all for the insights, I am picking up my Dad from the airport this Friday, will report how my experience goes with the new rules that the airport put in place.

Same as always, they message and I drive. They’re waiting outside and when I stop they get in.

How do you handle the vested traffic employees, do they approach you as soon as you stop and advise you no stopping?

Never encountered it, if the person is there when I stop they don’t care. I’ve only seen it when they’re inside, not to say you won’t get shit because everyone is different but I’ve no problems.
