Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 10, 2022 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 9,665 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 1,192 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,501 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 2,183 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% 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 Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 2,183 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 3,501 from 2:00 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.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Dec 31, 2007.
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.
