40 kilometres per hour Speed Limit on Major Arterial Roads

Jun 14, 2023
Description

In our respective wards, Wards 4 (Parkdale-High Park), 9 (Davenport), 11 (University-Rosedale), 12 (Toronto-St. Paul’s), 13 (Toronto Centre) and 14 (Toronto-Danforth), there are sections of arterial roads that are already 40 km/h due to the proximity to schools or because of the 2016 Council approval of the Road Safety Plan to reduce the number of road fatalities and serious injuries. However, there are still arterial roads that are 50 km/h. With staff support, we are looking to have all arterial roads, except Lake Shore Blvd, in our wards, be reduced to 40 km/h. The intent of this motion is to improve safety and provide consistency.
