Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 15, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,147 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 1,732 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,620 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:30 p.m., against 1,372 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 1,372 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,620 from 5:30 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 2018, with 29 collisions; 2025 recorded 24. 18 collisions (11%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 26 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 12 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 15 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 23, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Jun 19, 2014.

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.
