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 · Apr 16, 2019
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,568 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 676 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 924 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 14% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (812). Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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: 924 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 812 from 4:30 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
The worst year was 2016, with 4 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 3 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jan 23, 2026.

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.
