Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Traffic volume8-hour count · Oct 13, 2005

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 1,230 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 303 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 360 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 313 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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.

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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's most recent midblock count on Sunrise Ave between Hobson Ave and Bermondsey Rd (218 m away, Sep 2009) recorded volume only — about 4,423 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
