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 · Apr 16, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 995 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 60% of the total, against 93 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (77 of 114). Evening rush dominates here: 205 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:00 p.m., against 171 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% 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.
