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 volume8-hour count · Dec 17, 2022 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,292 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 32% of the total, against 2,763 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 3,033 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,182 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% 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 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 1,182 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 3,033 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
The worst year was 2019, with 77 collisions; 2025 recorded 50. 79 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 91 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 9 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 35 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 26, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on May 31, 2017. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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.
