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 · Oct 19, 2025 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,298 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 31 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,382 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 810 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% 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 Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 810 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,382 from 2:00 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 2018, with 25 collisions; 2025 recorded 13. 21 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 45 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 28% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 18, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.
