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 12, 2016
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 6,491 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 288 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,005 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,961 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.1% 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 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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: 2,005 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,961 from 5:00 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

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.
