Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 16, 2024 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 14,052 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 40% of the total, against 3,528 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (54 of 85). Evening rush dominates here: 3,316 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 2,488 in the morning peak from 9:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,488 vehicles in the hour from 9:15 a.m. and 3,316 from 2:00 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 2019, with 53 collisions; 2025 recorded 27. 59 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 42 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 12 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 17 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 15, 2026.
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt. The most recent was on Dec 8, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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.
