Every route rated for traffic stress: more protected lanes, calm residentials and laneways — fewer white-knuckle arterials. Free, private, built by a Toronto rider. SafeCycle Toronto plans cycling routes through the city the way an experienced rider would: prefer protected bike lanes, calmer residentials, and laneways over busy arterials, even when the arterial is shorter. The app uses Toronto's Level of Traffic Stress (LTS) data — a four-tier rating that scores every street segment by how comfortable it is to cycle on — and combines it with custom routing rules built specifically for cyclist safety. WHAT'S DIFFERENT • Avoids dangerous unsignalized left turns across busy streets • Treats Toronto's laneway network as a first-class shortcut, not a last resort • Penalizes high-stress arterials proportionally to how stressful they actually are • Two route options on every search: "Safer" and "Faster" — compare and pick DURING THE RIDE • First-person camera with voice and haptic cues for upcoming turns • Mute voice instantly from the navigation HUD • Auto-reroute if you drift off the suggested path • Trip history kept on-device (distance, duration), no GPS traces stored ON THE MAP • Streets colour-coded by traffic stress tier — green is calm, red is high-stress • Toggle stress tiers on/off in Settings • Map dims overlay during navigation so the route reads cleanly PRIVACY-FIRST • No accounts, no email signup, no advertising SDKs • Saved places, recent searches, and ride history live only on your device • Your location is sent to our routing server only when computing a route, not streamed Built for Toronto, by a Toronto rider. Questions or a route that could be better? Email support@safecycletoronto.ca — real rides shape every release.

  • This app hasn’t received enough ratings or reviews to display an overview.

• NEW — Share your ride: the recap now makes a shareable card with your route traced in traffic-stress colours, your start and end neighbourhoods, and how much of the trip was on low-stress streets. Privacy included: the card trims the first stretch of your ride, and neighbourhoods are matched on-device • Ride recap stats you can trust: duration and average speed now measure your actual riding time — reroutes, waiting at the start, or a missed arrival no longer skew them • Better GPS hygiene: inaccurate fixes are filtered out so trip distance stays honest • Quieter reroutes: no more "Starting route" announcement in the middle of your ride If SafeCycle has made your rides calmer, a rating goes a long way toward helping other Toronto riders find it. And if a route could be better, tell us: support@safecycletoronto.ca — real rides shape every release.
