According to a traffic study that was conducted before the pandemic, the 2.1-kilometre stretch of Avenue Road carries 30,000 vehicles per day, and 85 per cent of drivers exceed the 50 km/h speed limit. Compounding the problem is that the sidewalks are less than two metres wide.
The only stretch of Avenue Road that hasn’t been altered is the part the Avenue Road Safety Coalition is representing.
