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 · Jul 23, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 575 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 57% of the total, against 3 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (633 of 1,150). Evening rush dominates here: 156 vehicles in the peak hour from 7:00 p.m., against 69 in the morning peak from 9:30 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 is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
