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 · Sep 8, 2020

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 200 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 29% of the total, against 154 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the east (51 of 104). Evening rush dominates here: 116 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 82 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.4%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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.
