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 · Oct 13, 2021
Traffic is spread evenly across the approaches, from 399 vehicles entering from the east to 410 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (258 of 618). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 172 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 98% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (87). Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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: 87 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 172 from 5:00 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
2019 was the peak year (4 collisions), and 2025 closed with 1. 8% of collisions here involved an injury. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 54% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Dec 18, 2025.
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006.
By year
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |

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
The City's counter on Beaconsfield Ave between Lane N of Queen and E of Northcote and Lane S of Argyle and E of Northcote (157 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in October 2011; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Argyle St between Lane E of Gladstone and S of Argyle and Gladstone Ave measured slower: 25 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 32 km/h (Dec 2021) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Dufferin St (314 m away, 30 km/h limit), 36% of the 266,392 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.

- Speed sign
- Dufferin St (northbound), 314 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 36 km/h, 85th percentile 46 km/h; 36% at 40 km/h or more. 266,392 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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.
