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 · Jan 16, 2001
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,466 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 10 from the south. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,141 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 12% above the afternoon peak from 4:45 p.m. (1,017). 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 is 26 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2001, 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: 1,141 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,017 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.
How fast traffic moves here
