Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume8-hour count · Mar 8, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 161 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 27 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 147 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 407% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (29). Trucks and buses were 7.9% 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2019
