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 7, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 10,385 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 1,020 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,039 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,960 from 5:00 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 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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.
