How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

On Wilson Ave between Saunders St and Belgrave Ave, 339 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2026 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,600 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on Wilson Ave (136 m away, 40 km/h limit), 11% of the 225,506 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.

All police-reported collisions

Every collision reported to Toronto Police within 65 m, any severity, 2016–2025
