Turn Back the Clock for Daylight Savings on November 2

This year, we’re turning the clocks back at 2:00am on Sunday, November 2. As the clocks go back, the City and our office reminds drivers to stay alert, obey the speed limit and help keep Toronto’s streets safe for everyone. This is also a great time to replace any batteries in your smoke alarms to ensure you and your family stay safe in the event of a fire.

The return to standard time means fewer daylight hours in the evening and reduced visibility for all road users. In Toronto, pedestrian collisions increase by more than 30 per cent during the evening commute from November to March. When visibility is reduced, drivers are reminded to: 

  • slow down 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 headlights and signal lights are functioning properly.
