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 · Oct 24, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 14,756 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 33% of the total, against 5,241 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (62 of 150). Evening rush dominates here: 3,831 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:45 p.m., against 3,303 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 3,303 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,831 from 5:45 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 2019, with 97 collisions; 2025 recorded 58. 59 collisions (9%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 74 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (1%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 43 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 27, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Dec 18, 2018. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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.
