Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 8, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,824 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 34% of the total, against 2,658 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (921 of 2,083). Evening rush dominates here: 1,660 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 1,362 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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.
