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 · Apr 12, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 454 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 105 from the south. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 270 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 30% above the afternoon peak from 2:00 p.m. (208). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% 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.
