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 · Jul 18, 2026 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 12,744 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 620 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (43 of 89). Evening rush dominates here: 2,487 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:45 p.m., against 1,930 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% 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.

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.
