Toronto Police Service Enhances Enforcement for ‘Block the Box’

The Toronto Police Service is notifying the public about new enforcement measures for
motorists who block intersections – commonly known as ‘Blocking the Box.’ Such actions
disrupt traffic flow, contribute to congestion, and create unsafe conditions for motorists,
cyclists, and pedestrians alike.

Following the City of Toronto's recent increase in fines, penalties for drivers who block
intersections have increased from $90 to $450 at most intersections and from $120 to $500 in
designated community safety zones.

The Toronto Police Service is responsible for the education and enforcement of Blocking the
Box, including issuing fines.

Officers from the Traffic Service Motor Squad will target peak traffic hours, focusing on major
intersections citywide.

To minimize disruptions during enforcement, officers will use body-worn cameras to capture
infractions, and then guide drivers to nearby parking areas or side streets to issue tickets,
reducing the impact on traffic flow while holding motorists accountable.
