Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 4, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 366 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 82 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 106 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:00 p.m., against 56 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 56 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 106 from 6:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
