Daylight Saving Time: March 8!

This year, the clocks “spring forward” at 2:00am on Sunday, March 8. The start of daylight saving time means fewer daylight hours in the morning hours and reduced visibility for all road users. As the clocks “spring forward”, I am reminding all Torontonians, especially those driving, to stay alert, obey the speed limit and help keep Toronto’s streets safe for everyone.

When visibility is reduced, drivers are reminded to: 

  • Slow down, avoid distractions and obey the speed limit.  
  • Share the road and watch for vulnerable road users like pedestrians and people cycling. 
  • Approach crosswalks, intersections and transit stops with caution. 
  • Ensure vehicle headlamps and signal lights are functioning properly.  
  • Be patient and courteous to other road users.
