Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Mar 19, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,352 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 3 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (32 of 55). Evening rush dominates here: 1,206 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,115 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,115 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,206 from 4:00 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 2016, with 8 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 5 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 5, 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.
