Traffic volume14-hour count · Feb 11, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 16,290 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 56% of the total, against 2,104 from the south. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 2,956 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 21% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (2,449). Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 20 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,956 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,449 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).

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.
