Video: How many drivers are ignoring the rules on the King Street transit corridor?

The transit corridor has fallen into disrepair in recent years, plagued by crumbling infrastructure and what transit advocates see as sporadic enforcement of the traffic rules by police. The Star shot video during rush hour on January 16, 2023, at Yonge and King Streets, showing how many driver were obeying the rules on the King Street transit priority corridor. But the efficacy of the King Street transit priority corridor has always hinged upon drivers following the rules. “The value of King is impaired if we don’t enforce it,” said David Cooper, a former city of Toronto transportation planner who helped design the King Street pilot. “King Street would be the banner example of where you’d probably want to do that,” Cooper said.
