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 · Jun 10, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 16,583 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 2,758 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (40 of 77). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,794 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,899 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% 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 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,794 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,899 from 4:00 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 19 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 15 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 11 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (1%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 14, 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 May 9, 2011.

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.
