Which sections if not all?
Between Endfield and Westhead.
The peak 30 people an hour using it in the peak season must be thrilled! Also just realized the queensway stretch (with no houses) was lowered to 40 kmph..... Maybe one day the city will stop cripling east/west trafficA good friend of mine and his wife live in Portugal 6 months of the year (in winter obviously), then spend summers here in Toronto, where they have 2 properties. They were shocked by the bike lanes/cycle tracks that have been installed, remarking, "Wow, Toronto finally decided to get around to joining civilized places!"
Some of the lowered speed limits are truly insane. But the new bike lanes are needed and necessary.
I'll give you the speed limit point. Lowering the limit to 40 on the Queensway along the stretch between the rail embankment and High Park where there is no residential or commercial is profoundly stupid. Zero justification - I feel some bureaucrats in city hall are patting themselves on the back for implementing Vision Zero initiatives even if they're applied to an area where it's irrelevant. However, nobody is going to drive that slow there, especially since we all know there's no enforcement anyway, so it's all just pointless virtue signalling at taxpayer's expense..
I was going 50 and got tailgated pretty hard. I find the city is TERRIBLE at changing speed limit signs. Like a section will go down but only 1 sign is changed despite the document saying the whole street changed.I'll give you the speed limit point. Lowering the limit to 40 on the Queensway along the stretch between the rail embankment and High Park where there is no residential or commercial is profoundly stupid.

Ironically, the limit is still 50 west of the Humber where there are actual homes, shops and pedestrian activity
The speed limit east of the Humber is 40 because the Toronto & East York Community Council made all roads under its jurisdiction max 40. Those west are in the Etobicoke Community Council area where the motorists rule under Holyday! Though there may (MAY) be a few blocks in TEYCC where higher speeds might be OK, it really makes far more sense to impose speed limits for large areas.I'll give you the speed limit point.
