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 · Jun 25, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,410 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 1,442 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (1,259 of 2,878). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,330 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,288 from 5:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,330 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,288 from 5:45 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 7 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 5 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 10, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.
