Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Aug 8, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,599 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 58% of the total, against 97 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (46 of 86). Evening rush dominates here: 967 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 872 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Peak hours: 872 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 967 from 4:15 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 2018, with 4 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 2 collisions (13%) involved an injury. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%).

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 Dec 19, 2006.

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.
