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 23, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 549 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 204 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 160 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 148 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 148 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 160 from 5:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
