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 27, 2021
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 374 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 209 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 200 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 21% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (165). Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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.
Peak hours: 200 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 165 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 1 collision. 1 collision (20%) involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (40%). The most recent report on file is from May 26, 2025.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.
