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 · Apr 28, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 641 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 57% of the total, against 21 from the south. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 199 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 27% above the afternoon peak from 3:15 p.m. (157). Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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.
Peak hours: 199 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 157 from 3:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.
