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 · Apr 15, 2023 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 4,706 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 34% of the total, against 1,871 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (91 of 167). Evening rush dominates here: 2,339 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,175 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 1,175 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,339 from 2:00 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 2016, with 14 collisions; 2025 recorded 6. 23 collisions (27%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 6% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 28, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jul 10, 2017. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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.
