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 · Nov 20, 2018

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The east leg carries the load — 70 westbound vehicles, or 56% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 25. Morning rush is the busier period: 25 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:15 a.m., compared with 18 from 2:15 p.m. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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.

Peak hours: 25 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 18 from 2:15 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

Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

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.
