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 28, 2021

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 434 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 138 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 235 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 32% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (178). Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2019
