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, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 8,537 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 183 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,306 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,398 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,306 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,398 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The worst year was 2019, with 11 collisions; 2025 recorded 5. 18 collisions (27%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 7 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (10%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 10, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Feb 19, 2018. Going back to 2006, the total is 4.

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.
