Police say that so far in 2023, 32 people, including 20 pedestrians, have been killed on Toronto’s roads. 65 per cent of killed pedestrians were under 65 years old.
Most pedestrian deaths in Toronto have occurred on “arterial” roads, or roads with wide streets with a wide volume of traffic, according to police.
Police are asking drivers, cyclists and pedestrians to remain extra vigilant as they travel throughout the city, particularly at crosswalks and intersections.
Daylight Saving Time ends at 2:00 a.m. on Sunday, when all clocks will be set back one hour. Most digital devices and some appliance clocks will do this automatically, but some clocks, including those in cars or powered by batteries, will need to be reset manually.
