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 · May 7, 2016 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,822 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 32% of the total, against 3,483 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,631 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,719 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 11 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.

Peak hours: 1,719 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,631 from 4:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
