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 · Oct 26, 2025 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 5,486 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 321 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,100 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 757 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 757 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,100 from 3:15 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 worst year was 2016, with 10 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 12 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 16 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 25% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 25, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.
