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 10, 2023 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,306 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 280 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 840 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 371 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 371 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 840 from 2:00 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 9 collisions. 11 collisions (22%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 24% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection.

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.
