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 · Jun 4, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 13,511 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 32% of the total, against 6,301 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 4,757 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 3,858 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 3,858 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,757 from 4:45 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 2017, with 27 collisions; 2025 recorded 16. 35 collisions (25%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 22, 2026.

None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. 2 of the 3 happened in darkness — 67%, above the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Jun 26, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 6. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.
