Traffic volume14-hour count · Dec 10, 2023 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 5,605 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 712 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,039 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 991 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% 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: 991 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,039 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).

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.
