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 16, 2021
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 5,244 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 362 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,877 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,731 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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: 1,731 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,877 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The worst year was 2019, with 8 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 6 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 5% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 9, 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.
