Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 22, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 7,779 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 1,049 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (88 of 218). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,598 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,596 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.6% 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,598 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,596 from 4:45 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 worst year was 2016, with 29 collisions; 2025 recorded 23. 21 collisions (11%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 44 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 12 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Aug 15, 2013.

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.
