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 · May 3, 2016
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,642 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 1,614 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,145 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,895 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 9.6% 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 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Peak hours: 1,895 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,145 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
