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 · Nov 12, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 22,654 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 15,589 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,506 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,371 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 4,506 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,371 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
