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 · Dec 10, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 12,295 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 60% of the total, against 261 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,824 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 11% above the afternoon peak from 4:45 p.m. (1,639). Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,824 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,639 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 2019, with 11 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 11 collisions (26%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jan 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.
