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 · Apr 30, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,053 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 323 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (258 of 538). Evening rush dominates here: 945 vehicles in the peak hour from 6:00 p.m., against 859 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 859 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 945 from 6:00 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 6 collisions. 2 collisions (7%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 40% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 19, 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.
