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 · Oct 26, 2025 · weekend
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,851 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 239 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (95 of 172). Evening rush dominates here: 803 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:45 p.m., against 429 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 429 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 803 from 2:45 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 3 collisions. 2 collisions (15%) involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions.

The most recent report on file is from Sep 26, 2026.

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.
