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 · Mar 9, 1999
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 966 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 365 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 457 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m., 55% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (294). Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 28 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1999, 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: 457 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 294 from 4:00 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 4 collisions. 3 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 35% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (15%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Feb 6, 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.
How fast traffic moves here
On George St between King St and Fern Ave, 116 m from the corner, a 2-day count in April 2019 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 41 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 46 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. King St between George St and Rosemount Ave measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Jun 2023). 3 speed humps slow traffic on George Street between Fern Ave and King St.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
