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 17, 2019

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,380 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 100 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 2,424 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 73% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (1,398). Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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.

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.
