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

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 1,230 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 153 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 273 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 269 from 3:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% 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.
