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 · Feb 9, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 8,159 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 955 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,522 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,069 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 12.6% 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 5 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: 2,069 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,522 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 worst year was 2024, with 36 collisions; 2025 recorded 12. 31 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 52 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 20 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 29, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jun 14, 2006. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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.
