It's playoff season and that means Torontonians can expect an influx in traffic around the city's biggest stadiums (and sports bars).
This Saturday, four of Toronto's most-watched teams will be playing starting at 3 p.m. and ending around 10 p.m. The good news for Toronto drivers is that only two of those games will be in the city. Saturday afternoon will see the Jays host the Rays and the Raptors host the Magic. Both games will cause temporary closures, so if you're not a fan and aren't attending the games, you might want to steer clear of the stadiums altogether.
