Traffic volume8-hour count · Jan 31, 2017

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 11,324 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 153 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,280 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,326 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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.

Peak hours: 3,280 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,326 from 5:00 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.
