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 · Feb 21, 2012
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,595 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 38 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (182 of 331). Evening rush dominates here: 1,542 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,232 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.4% 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 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2012, 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: 1,232 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,542 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 2024, with 11 collisions; 2025 recorded 5. 8 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 8 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (17%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 7, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Mar 19, 2007.

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.
