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 · Jun 15, 2023
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 9,495 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 57% of the total, against 760 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,448 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,530 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 2,448 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,530 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
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 10 collisions. 7 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 11, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on May 9, 2023.

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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2019
On Banbury Rd between Barrydale Cres and York Mills Rd, 159 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2019 put the average speed at 48 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Banbury Rd · Barrydale Cres – York Mills Rd · 159 m | Oct 2019 · 3 days | 2,880 | 48 km/h | 57 km/h | 63 km/h |
| York Mills Rd · Mossgrove Park Trl – Leslie St · 241 m | Jun 2017 · 3 days | 14,048 | — | — | — |
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.
