Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · May 26, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 11,211 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 2,145 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,720 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 2,460 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 2,460 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,720 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).
