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 · Mar 31, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 8,316 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 1,766 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,616 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,209 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 7.3% 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 1,209 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,616 from 5:00 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.
