Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 10, 2024 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 9,812 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 30% of the total, against 5,480 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,209 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:30 p.m., against 2,201 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% 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. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,201 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 3,209 from 2:30 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 worst year was 2019, with 38 collisions; 2025 recorded 29. 55 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 24 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 8 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 29 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 28, 2026.
None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. All of them involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrians or cyclists. 1 of the 3 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Feb 20, 2025.

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.
