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 · Jan 22, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 12,886 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 1,621 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,390 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,507 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 2,390 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,507 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.
