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 15, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 1,568 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 323 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 327 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 316 from 5:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.4% 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
