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 · Oct 15, 2009
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,087 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 146 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,208 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,010 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2009, 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: 1,010 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,208 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 2021, with 4 collisions; 2025 recorded 0. 2 collisions (10%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 5% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (15%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 15, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.
