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 8, 2025 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 11,745 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 8,044 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the west (75 of 183). Evening rush dominates here: 3,366 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 2,664 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% 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: 2,664 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 3,366 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 2018, with 128 collisions; 2025 recorded 87. 108 collisions (12%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 148 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 14 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 60 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 29, 2026.
