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 · Jan 20, 1997
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,034 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 116 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (34 of 35). Evening rush dominates here: 1,770 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,488 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 30 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1997, 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: 1,488 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,770 from 4:30 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 13 collisions. 19 collisions (26%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 11 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 14 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (19%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 25, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Aug 3, 2011.

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.
