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
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,783 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 63 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (77 of 170). Evening rush dominates here: 950 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:45 p.m., against 507 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 507 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 950 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 worst year was 2024, with 11 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 10 collisions (18%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 20 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 36% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 7 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (13%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 26, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here, the latest on Jul 26, 2026. 1 older KSI collision is on file from before 2016.

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.
