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 1, 2020

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 736 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 58% of the total, against 525 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (98 of 232). Evening rush dominates here: 204 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 186 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 10.9% 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 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: 186 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 204 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).
