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 17, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 349 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 29% of the total, against 259 from the south. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 177 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 11% above the afternoon peak from 2:45 p.m. (160). Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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: 177 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 160 from 2:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
