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 9, 2017

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 1,636 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 419 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 553 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 499 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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.
