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 · Feb 13, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,293 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 114 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (96 of 169). Evening rush dominates here: 645 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 581 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
