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 · Oct 25, 2023
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 533 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 303 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 152 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 106 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% 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: 106 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 152 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 worst year was 2016, with 2 collisions; 2025 recorded 0. 0 collisions (0%) involved an injury. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 75% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 21, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All reported collisions | 4 | |
| With an injury | 0 | |
| Property damage only | 2 | |
| Fail to remain | 3 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |

| Killed or seriously injured | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 0 |
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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2002
On Airdrie Rd between Hanna Rd and Millwood Rd, 265 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in April 2002 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day. The reading is 24 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Lea Ave between Sutherland Dr and Lane E of Sutherland and N of Lea measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Apr 2002).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Lea Ave · Sutherland Dr – Lane E of Sutherland and N of Lea · 127 m | Apr 2002 · 24 h | 627 | 32 km/h | 39 km/h | 43 km/h |
| Airdrie Rd · Hanna Rd – Millwood Rd · 265 m | Apr 2002 · 24 h | 774 | 39 km/h | 48 km/h | 53 km/h |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
