Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 21, 2016
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 10,526 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 3,688 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 3,162 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 2,743 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Peak hours: 2,743 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,162 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
