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 · May 5, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,496 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 885 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,725 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:45 p.m., against 1,119 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 9.1% 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 1,119 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,725 from 3:45 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 4 collisions. 5 collisions (24%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 5% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 9, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

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.
