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 · Nov 28, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 9,159 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 378 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,802 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,831 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% 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: 2,802 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,831 from 4:00 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
The worst year was 2016, with 7 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 3 collisions (12%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 18, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.
