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 south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,503 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 305 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (305 of 568). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,175 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,230 from 6:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% 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.
