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 · Feb 14, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 7,998 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 725 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 2,700 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 10% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (2,444). Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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: 2,700 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,444 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 Caribou Rd between Glen Rush Blvd and Bathurst St, 118 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2019 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Dell Park Ave between Bathurst St and Glenmount Ave measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Oct 2013). At the school-zone speed sign on Glenmount Ave (251 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 75,993 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
