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 22, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,686 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 521 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,413 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 2,070 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% 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.

Peak hours: 2,070 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,413 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).
