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 · Aug 7, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 18,232 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 311 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,941 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 2,371 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,371 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,941 from 5:15 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 2022, with 13 collisions; 2025 recorded 12. 2 collisions (3%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 21 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 28% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 29, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 was fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on Aug 3, 2019.

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.
