The Ontario government’s proposal to increase speed limits is a misguided attempt to tackle the region’s worsening traffic congestion. With delays in key public transit projects like the Eglinton and Finch West LRTs, commuters are increasingly frustrated by gridlock on major highways. Experts argue that real change requires investing in affordable transportation options, such as improved train and bus services, better cycling infrastructure, and urban development that promotes proximity to work and school. Without a comprehensive plan, the province’s traffic woes will only continue to escalate.
