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 25, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 4,646 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 176 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,415 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,486 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 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.
Peak hours: 1,415 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,486 from 4:45 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 17 collisions. 8 collisions (9%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 18 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 17, 2026.
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt. The most recent was on Nov 3, 2022.

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.
