Traffic volume8-hour count · Nov 12, 2015

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,012 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 350 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (41 of 66). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,623 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 9% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (1,490). Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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: 1,623 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,490 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

Two thefts from vehicles and one bike theft were reported around this corner in 2016–2025 — below the median of 6 for an intersection with any reported theft. Since January 2026, 1 more has been reported, the latest on Feb 10, 2026.

Police offset every occurrence to the nearest intersection before publishing, so these are thefts on the streets and premises around this node, not necessarily at the corner itself. Other offences are published by neighbourhood only — see Long Branch.
