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 12, 2023
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,626 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 372 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (52 of 89). Evening rush dominates here: 942 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:45 p.m., against 860 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 860 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 942 from 3:45 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

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.
