Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 6, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 473 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 85% of the total, against 7 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (146 of 245). Evening rush dominates here: 133 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 54 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Peak hours: 54 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 133 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.

How fast traffic moves here

On Argyle St between Lane E of Gladstone and S of Argyle and Gladstone Ave, 25 m from the corner, a 3-day count in December 2021 put the average speed at 25 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 32 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 35 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Dufferin St (173 m away, 30 km/h limit), 36% of the 266,392 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.
