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

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 963 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 120 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (40 of 95). Evening rush dominates here: 319 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 272 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% 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.
