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 east: 1,350 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 115 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 246 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m., 29% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (190). Trucks and buses were 6.7% 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.
