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 · Jul 8, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 8,280 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 699 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (118 of 194). Evening rush dominates here: 1,705 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,319 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,319 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,705 from 4:30 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 5 collisions. 7 collisions (23%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 26% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 31, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Apr 10, 2013.

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.
