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 · Sep 26, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,600 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 480 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 871 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 820 from 3:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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: 871 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 820 from 3:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
