Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 14, 2010

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 13,946 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 63% of the total, against 103 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (60 of 108). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 4,835 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 40% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (3,463). Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2010, 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.

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.
