Toronto revamps road closures and restrictions website

City officials want to help people easily navigate their way around Toronto.

That’s why the City of Toronto has revamped its website with a new road restrictions map, which will provide real-time information on road work and other activities happening on city streets.

“Providing real-time information to residents is essential to helping tackle congestion on our roadways,” Mayor John Tory said in a release.

“The revamped road closures and restrictions website, as well as the installation of more traffic cameras, is an example of how the City is modernizing the way it communicates so residents can plan their commute more effectively and efficiently.”

Residents will also be able to see the level of severity of the road restrictions ranging from major to minor.

The city has also installed 40 cameras on routes that run parallel to expressways and near Pan Am Games venues so staff can monitor its roadways.

Road crews are also installing two portable message signs — one as drivers approach the Don Valley Parkway and one approaching the Gardiner Expressway — to provide drivers with important travel information before they reach the ramps.
