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 27, 2020

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,764 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 806 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (39 of 56). Evening rush dominates here: 1,991 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,755 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 9.4% 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 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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: 1,755 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,991 from 4:45 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.
