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 · Sep 5, 2002

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 723 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 516 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the north (41 of 86). Evening rush dominates here: 464 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 257 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 24 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2002, 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.
