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 east: 12,003 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 2,485 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,590 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,869 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% 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: 1,869 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,590 from 2:00 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 2022, with 27 collisions; 2025 recorded 25. 36 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 24 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 17 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 21, 2026.
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 cyclist were among those hurt. The most recent was on Feb 24, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.
