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 · Aug 24, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,231 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 457 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,506 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,227 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 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.
Peak hours: 1,227 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,506 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).

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.
