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 18, 2025

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 1,291 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 78% of the total, against 5 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the north (39 of 66). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 216 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 23% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (175). 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 19 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Maplewood Ave between Humewood Dr and Cherrywood Ave, 220 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2017 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 37 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 40 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Arlington Ave between Normanna Ave and Maplewood Ave measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Apr 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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.
