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 · Aug 19, 1996

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 7,974 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 239 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (59 of 111). Evening rush dominates here: 2,250 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,083 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 30 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1996, 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.
