Traffic and safety

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

Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 1, 2023 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 8,917 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 36% of the total, against 2,873 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 4,149 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,590 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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: 1,590 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 4,149 from 2:00 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 2019, with 49 collisions; 2025 recorded 32. 60 collisions (18%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 52 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 7 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 20 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 19, 2026.

One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Jul 5, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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.
