The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 2,860 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 789 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 783 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 622 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
