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 · Apr 19, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 830 and 891 vehicles. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 523 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 495 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
