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 · Feb 26, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,520 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 142 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 557 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 13% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (495). Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 20 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
