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 14, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,505 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 5 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (822 of 1,659). Evening rush dominates here: 1,075 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 824 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% 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: 824 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,075 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
