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 · Jul 21, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 12,070 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 2,263 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (73 of 92). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,644 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,765 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.0% 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 2,644 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,765 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The worst year was 2016, with 62 collisions; 2025 recorded 42. 72 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 55 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (0%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 37 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 27, 2026.
None of the four serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 cyclist and 2 motorcyclists were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. 2 of the 4 happened in darkness — 50%, about the citywide 39%. 2016 alone accounted for 2 of them. The most recent was on Aug 13, 2021. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.

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.
