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 · May 11, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 1,127 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 83% of the total, against 230 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (354 of 645). Evening rush dominates here: 226 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 114 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% 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. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Peak hours: 114 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 226 from 4:15 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 4 collisions. 1 collision (5%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 24% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 3, 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 Nov 7, 2010.

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.
