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 · Dec 3, 2019

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 217 vehicles entering from the south to 238 from the north. Morning rush is the busier period: 235 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 121 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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.

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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.

How fast traffic moves here
