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 · Jan 6, 1998
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 11,386 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 348 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 4,043 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 13% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (3,576). Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 29 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1998, not today's volume. 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: 4,043 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,576 from 5:00 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
The worst year was 2016, with 44 collisions; 2025 recorded 31. 20 collisions (8%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 60 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 24% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 29, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Sep 29, 2018.
