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 · Mar 19, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 1,367 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 178 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 301 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 213 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 19 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 213 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 301 from 4:15 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 Brimorton Dr between Amberjack Blvd and Dolly Varden Blvd, 162 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2021 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 4,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Amberjack Blvd between Bridlington St and Highcourt Cres measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Jul 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Brimorton Dr (10 m away, 40 km/h limit), 16% of the 55,441 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone. 8 speed humps slow traffic on Amberjack Boulevard between Bellamy Rd N and Brimorton Dr (installed 2026).
