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 29, 2007
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 448 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 83% of the total, against 95 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 168 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 85% above the afternoon peak from 2:45 p.m. (91). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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: 168 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 91 from 2:45 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 worst year was 2019, with 9 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 0 collisions (0%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 32% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 2, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.
