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 16, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 10,963 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 555 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (35 of 56). Evening rush dominates here: 1,974 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:30 p.m., against 1,238 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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.
