Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 24, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,328 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 4,164 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (1,221 of 2,758). Evening rush dominates here: 1,806 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,555 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,555 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,806 from 4:45 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 2017, with 45 collisions; 2025 recorded 29. 39 collisions (12%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 51 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 18 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 31 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 23, 2026.
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 cyclist were among those hurt. The most recent was on Aug 31, 2021. 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.
