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 · Oct 16, 2003
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 11,921 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 474 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 5,165 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,933 in the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2003, 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: 2,933 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 5,165 from 4:45 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

Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 10, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.
