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 · Sep 15, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,721 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 767 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 987 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,028 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% 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: 987 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,028 from 4:45 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 2018, with 6 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 6 collisions (24%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 2, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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.
