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 · Apr 6, 2017

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 10,771 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 149 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,042 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,876 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2018
