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 · Oct 27, 2021
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,402 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 162 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,215 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,559 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 7.7% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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: 1,559 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,215 from 4:45 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 2023, with 7 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 4 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported, 1 of them fatal; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 9, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here — it was fatal (1 pedestrian involved), the latest on Feb 3, 2026.

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.
