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 · Oct 30, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 16,887 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 57% of the total, against 466 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (49 of 86). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,323 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,442 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.9% 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,323 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,442 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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.
