Toronto recorded its lowest traffic-related deaths in a decade in 2025, with 39 fatalities, even as a key road safety program, including speed cameras, was removed due to provincial legislation. The Vision Zero strategy, aimed at eliminating traffic deaths, had led to significant reductions in fatalities since its implementation following a 2016 peak of 78 deaths. Advocates express concern that the removal of speed cameras could reverse progress, particularly around schools, despite the city planning to enhance other safety measures. Overall, while fatalities have decreased, pedestrian deaths remain a significant concern, highlighting ongoing challenges in road safety design.
