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 · Nov 29, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 6,508 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 192 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,840 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,632 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 16.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. 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: 1,632 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,840 from 4:00 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

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.
