Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 11, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 8,627 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 2,205 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,640 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,608 from 7:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,640 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,608 from 7:00 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.
