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 · Oct 29, 2020
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 865 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 82 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 414 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 15% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (359). Heavy vehicles made up 0.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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: 414 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 359 from 4:00 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.
