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 · Dec 11, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,962 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 700 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,044 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:00 p.m., against 736 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
