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 24, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 232 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 67 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 93 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m., 31% above the afternoon peak from 2:00 p.m. (71). 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. 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.
Peak hours: 93 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 71 from 2:00 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 5 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 4 collisions (25%) involved an injury. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 25% of collisions. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 20, 2026.
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 2020
On George St S between Albert Franck Pl and Wilton St, 17 m from the corner, a 2-day count in March 2020 put the average speed at 23 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 29 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 35 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| George St S · Albert Franck Pl – Wilton St · 17 m | Mar 2020 · 2 days | 957 | 23 km/h | 29 km/h | 35 km/h |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
