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 · Nov 29, 2025 · weekend
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 12,600 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 908 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,212 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,856 in the morning peak from 9:30 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 1,856 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,212 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
The worst year was 2020, with 9 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 14 collisions (24%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city.

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.
