Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 16, 2024 · weekend
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 10,598 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 6,812 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (103 of 200). Evening rush dominates here: 2,584 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:00 p.m., against 2,115 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.0% 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: 2,115 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,584 from 3:00 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.
