Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 10, 2024 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 9,812 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 727 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,187 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 1,547 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% 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 Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,547 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,187 from 3:15 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 2023, with 39 collisions; 2025 recorded 24. 27 collisions (9%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 32 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 20 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 21, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on May 9, 2025. Going back to 2006, the total is 2. 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.
