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 18, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 382 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 226 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 110 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 110 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 19 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
