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 · Jul 18, 1984
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 7,420 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 37 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,421 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 2,051 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 42 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1984, 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.
Peak hours: 2,051 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,421 from 4:30 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.
