Walk Toronto’s Lee Scott spoke at the June 2026 meeting of the Infrastructure and Environment Committee to reiterate Walk Toronto’s call to prohibit right turns on red lights in Toronto (as is done in Montreal and other cities).
Lee spoke to the “Updates on Vision Zero Road Safety Initiatives” item, pointing out that the initial reduction in pedestrian deaths and injuries from Vision Zero has levelled off, and that new safety measures are needed to continue the improvements to traffic safety and reduce deaths to zero. Lee noted the many dangers to pedestrians created by allowing right turns on red lights.
