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 · Nov 30, 2021

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,516 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 48 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,480 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,448 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.5% 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. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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.
