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 · Apr 21, 2005

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 341 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 58% of the total, against 23 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 110 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 93 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 10.4% 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 22 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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.
