Traffic volume14-hour count · May 29, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 20,216 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 1,574 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 4,012 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 3,289 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 3,289 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 4,012 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

A collision counts when its recorded location is within 65 m of the centreline node, intersection-related or not. KSI = killed or seriously injured, the basis of the danger rankings; records can lag a year or more, so the current year is outside the window. How collisions are counted.
