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
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 10,179 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 1,499 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (80 of 184). Evening rush dominates here: 2,152 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:45 p.m., against 1,589 in the morning peak from 9:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.9% 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: 1,589 vehicles in the hour from 9:15 a.m. and 2,152 from 2:45 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 2017, with 34 collisions; 2025 recorded 14. 34 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 30 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 9 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 21 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 15, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here (1 pedestrian involved), the latest on Feb 5, 2026. 2 older KSI collisions are on file from before 2016.

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.
