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 27, 2020
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 435 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 304 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 231 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 51% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (153). 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 is 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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: 231 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 153 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m

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.
