Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 8, 2025 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 13,685 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 32% of the total, against 8,733 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 3,884 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:00 p.m., against 2,877 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Peak hours: 2,877 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 3,884 from 3:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

The worst year was 2018, with 184 collisions; 2025 recorded 78. 133 collisions (12%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 196 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 34 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 67 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 30, 2026.

Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jul 18, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.
