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 · Apr 23, 2007
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 5,075 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 41 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (307 of 307). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,541 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,445 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 9.2% 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. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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.
Peak hours: 1,541 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,445 from 4:00 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 2016, with 5 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 2 collisions (8%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 27% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 11, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Aug 10, 2013.

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.
How fast traffic moves here
