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: 4,797 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 523 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,651 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,374 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 9.2% 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: 1,374 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,651 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 18 collisions. 20 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 25 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 6, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.
