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 · Feb 10, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,130 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 37% of the total, against 464 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,074 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 752 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 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: 752 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,074 from 4:30 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 2016, with 7 collisions; 2025 recorded 4. 9 collisions (21%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (12%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 8, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Nov 15, 2017.

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.
