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 · Nov 12, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 797 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 150 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 231 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 174 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
