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 · Oct 8, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 18,133 westbound vehicles, or 56% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 1,077. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 3,111 vehicles in the hour from 4:30 p.m., 18% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,639). Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,639 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 3,111 from 4:30 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
Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
