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 · Sep 16, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 9,459 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 467 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (225 of 485). Evening rush dominates here: 1,772 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:45 p.m., against 1,375 in the morning peak from 9:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 9.7% 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: 1,375 vehicles in the hour from 9:15 a.m. and 1,772 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The worst year was 2024, with 9 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 9 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 20, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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.
