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 · Sep 19, 2005

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,624 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 110 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (137 of 238). Evening rush dominates here: 1,945 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,788 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 15.7% 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 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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.

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.
