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 29, 2023 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 8,172 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 37% of the total, against 2,642 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 3,860 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,399 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; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 1,399 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 3,860 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

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.
