Update, Toronto Police Traffic Services to enhance discretion to on-street parking enforcement

March 25, 2020, 1:30 pm

The Toronto Police Service Parking Enforcement continues to exercise discretion with regards to street parking enforcement to accommodate the changing needs of our city, particularly for those who are now working from home, caring for others, or trying to ensure the flow of goods and services during this challenging period.

Effective immediately, the highest level of discretion will be applied to rush hour route enforcement. Only when an offence is having a significant negative impact on traffic flow in the immediate area will an infraction notice be issued. Also, the impounding of vehicles from rush hour routes will only be undertaken as a last resort.

“We are committed to working with our community to offer flexibility while ensuring the free flow of traffic throughout our city. Over the last week, our officers have been using discretion where we are able to and engaging the public in those cases,” said Superintendent Scott Baptist, Traffic Services. He continued, “We ask the public to continue to respect traffic and parking rules as much as possible, out of respect for their neighbours and fellow community members and we will continue to do our part to facilitate safe streets for everyone.”

While Parking Enforcement Officers will be doing what they can to exercise as much discretion as possible, it is important that everyone in our community understands we will tag and tow vehicles which are impeding traffic flow, when necessary. We are asking the public to continue to obey the rules that have always been in place.

This adjustment is in addition to the suspension of enforcement, announced on March 18, 2020, with regards to:

- On-Street Permit Parking Areas
- On-Street Time Limit Offences such a 1, 2 and 3 Hour Parking
- North York Winter Maintenance Bylaw
- Expired Vehicle Validation License Plates
- Boulevard Parking
- School Zones with posted No Stopping/No Standing/No Parking Signage

2020 March Week of Action and Engagement, Road Safety Campaign Update, More than 2,300 tickets issued

More than 2,300 tickets were issued to drivers as part of a week of action and engagement.

Between Monday, March 16, 2020, and Sunday, March 22, 2020, officers were out in Toronto communities enforcing and educating road users on collision-causing behaviours. Members focused on “The Big 4” behaviours that are known to cause injuries to people using our roads and identified drivers who were speeding, driving aggressively, driving while distracted and driving while impaired.

The week was also supported by the media and members of the public on social media who helped spread the message.

See previous release.

Tickets issued included:

- 1,295 speeding charges
- 654 aggressive driving offences
- 100 distracted driving infractions

Additionally, officers laid 23 stunt driving-related infractions where the drivers received a suspension and their vehicles were impounded. A total of 20 impaired-related charges were also laid.

Sergeant Jason Kraft thanked all those who helped share the traffic safety messages.

He said, “We know that collisions will unfortunately happen but by correcting driving behaviours that contribute to our most serious collisions, such as speeding and distracted driving, it can ultimately save lives and prevent people from being seriously injured.

Drivers must recognize their role in all of this and they must stay focused and in control at all times so they can be prepared for any hazards. People know they shouldn’t be driving like this, so please don't.

While enforcement plays a key part in changing these behaviours it is equally important to educate people. By creating conversations about road safety, we are getting people to talk about the daily risks we all take and recognize their behaviours."

Toronto’s Vision Zero Road Safety Plan acknowledges that collisions are inevitable but that killed and seriously injured (KSI) collisions are preventable and unacceptable. Zero injuries and deaths on our roads is the number that we all should be working towards.
