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 · Sep 30, 1999
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 333 and 373 vehicles. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 296 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 90% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (156). 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 27 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1999, 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: 296 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 156 from 4:00 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 4 collisions. 1 collision (7%) involved an injury. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 21% of collisions. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%).

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.
