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 · Nov 22, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 5,316 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 204 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,575 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 1,389 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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.
