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 · Dec 19, 2019

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 12,588 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 128 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 3,382 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 12% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (3,032). Trucks and buses were 6.3% 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.
