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 23, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 8,079 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 219 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (308 of 596). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,254 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,310 from 6:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,254 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,310 from 6:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.
How fast traffic moves here
