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 9, 2024 · weekend
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 11,150 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 409 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,868 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,307 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,307 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,868 from 4:00 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

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.
How fast traffic moves here
On Albion Rd between Lund Ave and Riverdale Dr, 270 m from the corner, a 2-day count in June 2012 put the average speed at 56 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 66 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 72 km/h or more. That segment carries about 22,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Barker Ave between Riverdale Dr and Hentob Crt measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Jun 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Albion Rd · Lund Ave – Riverdale Dr · 270 m | Jun 2012 · 2 days | 22,217 | 56 km/h | 66 km/h | 72 km/h |
| Barker Ave · Riverdale Dr – Hentob Crt · 361 m | Jun 2025 · 3 days | 2,403 | 34 km/h | 42 km/h | 46 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.
