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 north: 9,662 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 27% of the total, against 7,524 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 3,345 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:45 p.m., against 2,497 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% 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: 2,497 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 3,345 from 3:45 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 2019, with 91 collisions; 2025 recorded 61. 61 collisions (11%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 75 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 10 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 22 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 17, 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 Nov 15, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 6.
