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 · Dec 1, 1992

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 8,540 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 178 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,623 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 2,042 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.8% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 34 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1992, 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.
