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 · Sep 9, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 15,400 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 1,675 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (30 of 59). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,849 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,955 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. 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: 2,849 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,955 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
