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 7, 1998

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 9,289 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 211 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 3,259 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 22% above the afternoon peak from 4:45 p.m. (2,676). Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 29 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1998, 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.
