Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 5, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 17,023 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 36% of the total, against 6,440 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 4,261 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:45 p.m., against 3,600 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% 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.
Peak hours: 3,600 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,261 from 5:45 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 2023, with 78 collisions; 2025 recorded 47. 107 collisions (20%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 64 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 13 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 39 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 26, 2026.
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. Both happened in darkness. The most recent was on Nov 26, 2017. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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.
