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, 2016

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 9,050 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 404 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,886 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 2,526 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 10 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.
