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 22, 2025 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 11,284 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 886 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (37 of 72). Evening rush dominates here: 2,415 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,622 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 1,622 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,415 from 2:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.
