Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · May 23, 2015 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 8,288 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 40% of the total, against 1,620 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 3,016 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 2,119 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% 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. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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: 2,119 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 3,016 from 2:00 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 2016, with 33 collisions; 2025 recorded 17. 39 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 27 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 14 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 13 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 9, 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.
