Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 11, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 8,703 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 1,545 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (38 of 85). Evening rush dominates here: 2,032 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,827 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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: 1,827 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,032 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The worst year was 2017, with 18 collisions; 2025 recorded 5. 20 collisions (25%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jan 11, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 4 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Nov 3, 2013.

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.
