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 · Apr 3, 2006

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,176 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 126 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,354 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 2,121 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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.

How fast traffic moves here
