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 · Jan 15, 2019

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 3,657 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 434 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (121 of 287). Evening rush dominates here: 1,346 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 1,081 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.5% 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 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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.
