Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera

Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 18, 2018

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,891 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 1,940 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,112 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,130 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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.

Pharmacies, hospital sites and care homes from the Ontario Ministry of Health's register — a hospital site may be a rehabilitation or specialty hospital without an emergency department; in an emergency call 911.
