Traffic and safety

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

Traffic volume8-hour count · Jun 21, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 194 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 131 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 85 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 16% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (73). 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 3 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: 85 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 73 from 4:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
