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 · Dec 1, 2009
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 9,933 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 490 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,684 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 3,533 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2009, 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: 3,684 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 3,533 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 14 collisions. 16 collisions (21%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 11 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 29, 2026.

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.
