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 19, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 7,712 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 1,329 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (114 of 254). Evening rush dominates here: 1,526 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 1,394 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,394 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,526 from 5:15 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 6 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 5 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 26, 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.
