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 · Dec 12, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,026 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 2,113 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 902 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 909 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 902 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 909 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 12 collisions. 15 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 25 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 32% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 22, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Aug 5, 2014.

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.
