Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 18, 2018
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 8,293 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 1,087 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,948 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,926 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% 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.
Peak hours: 2,948 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,926 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).
