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
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 10,256 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 1,144 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,017 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 1,285 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% 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: 1,285 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,017 from 5:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Nov 26, 2025.

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.
