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

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 8,395 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 443 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,755 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:30 p.m., against 1,268 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% 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.
