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 · Jan 13, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 2,118 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 753 from the south. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 698 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 37% above the afternoon peak from 2:45 p.m. (510). Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% 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: 698 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 510 from 2:45 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.
