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 15, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 1,288 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 24 from the south. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 291 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 10% above the afternoon peak from 3:00 p.m. (264). Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
