Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 5, 2016

Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 201 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m., 20% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (168). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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.
