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 · Sep 2, 2026
The north leg carries the load — 13,148 southbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 748. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,605 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 16% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,240). Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 2,240 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,605 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
2019 was the peak year (18 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 14% of collisions here involved an injury, in line with the 15% citywide. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 6% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 10 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 20, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Nov 22, 2010.

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 Avenue Rd between Glencairn Ave and Glengrove Ave W (70 m away) recorded an average of 47 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2018; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h. That segment carries about 25,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Glencairn Ave between Heather St and Rosewell Ave measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Mar 2023) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Broadway Ave (288 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.8% of the 232,550 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
