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 8, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 6,429 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 191 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,053 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,625 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 8.4% 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: 1,625 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,053 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 2019, with 20 collisions; 2025 recorded 12. 18 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 11 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 20, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Nov 21, 2022.

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.
