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 13, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 3,233 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 607 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,217 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,223 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% 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: 1,217 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,223 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 2022, with 6 collisions; 2025 recorded 5. 7 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 31, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Apr 15, 2010.

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.
