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 · Aug 18, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The east leg carries the load — 15,994 westbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 451. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,824 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 18% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (2,394). Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 2,394 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,824 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
Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
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.
