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 · Jan 16, 2006
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 10,546 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 223 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,452 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 2,824 in the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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: 2,824 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 3,452 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
