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 · Sep 27, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 7,246 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 124 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,373 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 2,014 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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.

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.
