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 · Sep 14, 2021

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 174 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 34% of the total, against 50 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 87 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 76 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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.
