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 22, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 8,066 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 357 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 2,626 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 14% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (2,294). Trucks and buses were 11.2% 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 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,626 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,294 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).
