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 · Dec 11, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,119 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 1,758 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,268 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 806 in the morning peak from 8:15 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 806 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,268 from 5:15 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 2016, with 20 collisions; 2025 recorded 5. 9 collisions (12%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 24 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 32% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), a low share for a Toronto intersection.

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.
