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 · Jan 18, 2001

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,491 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 2,859 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,152 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,978 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 26 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2001, 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.
