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 12, 2023
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 9,831 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 646 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,891 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,715 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.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 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,715 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,891 from 4:45 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 2024, with 10 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 6 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%.

The most recent report on file is from Sep 14, 2026.

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.
