Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 8-hour, Sep 27, 2022

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 2,157 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 630. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 761 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 49% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (511). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.

Killed or seriously injured

Collisions in which someone died or was seriously injured, within 65 m, 2016–2025 — the basis of the danger rankings

The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.

KSI = killed or seriously injured. A collision is counted if its recorded location is within 65 m of this intersection's centreline node, whether the police coded it as intersection-related or mid-block. Records can lag a year or more, so the current year is excluded from rankings.

Thefts reported at this corner

Thefts from vehicles and bicycle thefts that Toronto Police have offset to this intersection, 2016–2025
