Toronto police say they will have zero tolerance for vehicles found blocking and congesting rush-hour routes during a week-long traffic blitz kicking off Monday.

Parking enforcement has issued more than 46,000 tickets and towed close to 10,000 vehicles during rush hours since the beginning of the year.
