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 · Nov 6, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 5,839 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 33% of the total, against 2,859 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,716 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,541 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,541 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,716 from 5:00 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 2024, with 25 collisions; 2025 recorded 14. 22 collisions (12%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 34 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 16 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 7 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 3, 2026.
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 cyclist were among those hurt. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Jul 12, 2016. Going back to 2006, the total is 5.

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.
