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 29, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 16,167 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 57 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (76 of 83). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,556 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,694 from 3:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% 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.
Peak hours: 2,556 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,694 from 3:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
