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 · Nov 17, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 2,652 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 110 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,009 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 910 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, not today's volume. 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: 910 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,009 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 2 collisions. 1 collision (8%) involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions.

The most recent report on file is from Aug 5, 2026.

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.
