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 12, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 10,273 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 1,068 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (51 of 98). Evening rush dominates here: 1,863 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 1,703 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 7.2% 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 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 1,703 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,863 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).

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.
