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 5, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,972 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 36 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,055 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 16% above the afternoon peak from 3:00 p.m. (911). Trucks and buses were 9.1% 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 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,055 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 911 from 3:00 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 7 collisions. 8 collisions (18%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 24, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Jul 26, 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.
