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 · Jun 1, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 8,032 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 334 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,897 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 2,092 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 2,092 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,897 from 4:15 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 2019, with 9 collisions; 2025 recorded 6. 5 collisions (10%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 7, 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.
