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 · Oct 19, 2024 · weekend
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 6,622 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 195 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (69 of 128). Evening rush dominates here: 1,264 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 929 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 929 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,264 from 3:15 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 2018, with 3 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 4 collisions (44%) involved an injury. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (11%). Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 13, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All reported collisions | 9 | |
| With an injury | 4 | |
| Property damage only | 4 | |
| Fail to remain | 0 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 1 | |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Since January 2026 (outside the window) | 2 | |
| Killed or seriously injured | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 0 |
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.
