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 5, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 10,918 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 114 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (66 of 139). Evening rush dominates here: 2,036 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,729 in the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.2% 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
