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 · Jun 21, 2025 · weekend

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 10,580 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 8,188 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the north (31 of 57). Evening rush dominates here: 2,622 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 1,838 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
