Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Nov 28, 2018
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,198 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 151 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,096 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,178 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Peak hours: 2,096 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,178 from 4:30 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.
