Why do people drive in Toronto?

• To get work
• Convenience
• Save Time
• Safety
• Other?

Some areas can get pretty busy especially during Rush Hour Traffic and construction season (mainly in the summer).

RUSH HOUR TRAFFIC CONGESTION : Bay Street (Gardiner Expy to Queen St.) Dufferin (Finch to Steeles) Keele Street (Finch to Steeles) King St. W (Yonge to John St.) Eglinton Av W (Allen Expy to Keele) Queen St. W (University to Bathurst)

If you run a red light you can get a ticket certain intersections have Red Light Cameras

Parking is pretty expensive in the city. Don't be suprised if you have to pay 20$ a day for a spot downtown.

You can use http://stopfinder.com to find the closest, cheapest parking lots (as well as transit stops) close to your destination.

There are a number of Highways in and around the city.

And there are Road Closures & Maintenance that happen to help maintain the city's infrastructure or due to an event e.g. RIDE for Heart or Caribana Parade.

To keep a car on the road legally, you will have to go through the Ministry of Transportation and the Vehicle Licensing.
