Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 18, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 12,195 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 28% of the total, against 8,296 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,334 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,469 from 6:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.3% 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. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 3,334 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,469 from 6:15 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 79 collisions; 2025 recorded 60. 74 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 70 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 17 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city.

No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on May 4, 2008.

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.
