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 8, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 8,412 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 391 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (134 of 289). Evening rush dominates here: 1,655 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,522 in the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 13 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,522 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 1,655 from 5:00 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 2024, with 6 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 10 collisions (32%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city.

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.
