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 · Apr 16, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 12,498 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 91 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (33 of 54). Evening rush dominates here: 2,647 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 2,316 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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.
