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 · Dec 13, 2016
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 10,166 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 4,410 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,805 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 3,452 in the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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: 3,452 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 3,805 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
