Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 18, 2024
No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 11,181 and 13,909 vehicles. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,307 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,226 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 4,307 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,226 from 5:15 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.
