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 9, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,298 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 37% of the total, against 2,236 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (1,317 of 3,206). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,420 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,483 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,420 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,483 from 4:00 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 16 collisions; 2025 recorded 12. 13 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 18 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 13 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (13%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 14, 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 8, 2009.

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.
