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 15, 2025 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 14,850 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 2,668 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 3,340 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 2,790 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.5% 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 Saturday, 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: 2,790 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 3,340 from 2:00 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 40 collisions; 2025 recorded 25. 34 collisions (11%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 58 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 9 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 19 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 24, 2026.
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt. The most recent was on Oct 6, 2017.

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.
