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 · Dec 17, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 16,070 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 1,182 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 3,289 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:45 p.m., against 3,026 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 3,026 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 3,289 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 2018, with 21 collisions; 2025 recorded 14. 16 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 14 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 12 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 3, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.
