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 · Oct 15, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 1,874 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 984 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (258 of 611). Evening rush dominates here: 380 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 349 in the morning peak from 9:15 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 349 vehicles in the hour from 9:15 a.m. and 380 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.
