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 5, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 9,981 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 805 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (42 of 79). Evening rush dominates here: 1,916 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,765 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.3% 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,765 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,916 from 5:00 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
The worst year was 2017, with 7 collisions; 2025 recorded 4. 9 collisions (26%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 6% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 10, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Nov 24, 2015.

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.
