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 26, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 5,744 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 454 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,192 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:30 p.m., against 1,010 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,010 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,192 from 3:30 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 5 collisions. 1 collision (7%) involved an injury. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 29% of collisions.

The most recent report on file is from May 6, 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.
