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 · Jun 12, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 9,013 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 448 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (47 of 108). Evening rush dominates here: 2,012 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,388 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 7.7% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,388 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,012 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).

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.
