## Description

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
