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 · Nov 23, 2017

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,741 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 18 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (632 of 1,109). Evening rush dominates here: 1,708 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,351 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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.
