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 · Nov 15, 2025 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 14,792 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 286 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,651 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,797 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.5% 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 Saturday, 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: 1,797 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,651 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
The worst year was 2023, with 4 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 4 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 4% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 6 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 11, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here, the latest on Mar 26, 2026.

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.
