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 · Aug 29, 2007
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 267 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 66% of the total, against 139 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 84 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 43 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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.
Peak hours: 43 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 84 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 2020, with 2 collisions; 2025 recorded 0. 0 collisions (0%) involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Jun 30, 2024.
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 | 8 | |
| With an injury | 0 | |
| Property damage only | 7 | |
| Fail to remain | 1 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Severity not classified | 1 | |
| 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.
How fast traffic moves here
On Alexander St between Alexander Street Parkette Trl and Donna Shaw Lane, 245 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2019 put the average speed at 28 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 37 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 43 km/h or more. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Mutual St between Alexander St and Maitland St measured slower: 21 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Sep 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Mutual St (3 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 48,303 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 1 speed hump slow traffic on Alexander Street between Church St and Mutual St.
