Traffic and safety

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

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jun 7, 2017

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 887 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 137 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (233 of 461). Evening rush dominates here: 333 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 278 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
