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 · Nov 29, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 8,571 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 92 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,763 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 2,534 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,534 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,763 from 4:15 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 7 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 13 collisions (45%) 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%. 8 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (28%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 4, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.
