Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 29, 2025 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 9,757 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 1,340 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (37 of 70). Evening rush dominates here: 2,228 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,548 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% 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: 1,548 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,228 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).
