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 · Jun 13, 2019

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 15,924 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 7,789 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 5,040 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 5,028 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 9.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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: 5,040 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 5,028 from 4:45 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

Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Jun 12, 2014.

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.
