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 · Aug 10, 2022

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 4,419 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 154 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (35 of 70). Evening rush dominates here: 1,460 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,051 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% 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: 1,051 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,460 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).

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.
