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 · Dec 13, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 4,171 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 93 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,550 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,461 from 4:45 p.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 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.
Peak hours: 1,550 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,461 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).
