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 · Aug 19, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 8,272 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 40% of the total, against 2,706 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,390 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 1,534 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 14 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
