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 · Apr 19, 2006
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 456 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 16 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 162 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 9% above the afternoon peak from 4:15 p.m. (149). Heavy vehicles made up 1.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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: 162 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 149 from 4:15 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

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 2013
On Yardley Ave between Barron Rd and Glenburn Ave, 134 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in May 2013 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 40 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 45 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yardley Ave · Barron Rd – Glenburn Ave · 134 m | May 2013 · 24 h | 1,494 | 35 km/h | 40 km/h | 45 km/h |
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.
