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 · May 9, 2026 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 11,235 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 624 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (50 of 112). Evening rush dominates here: 2,763 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,571 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

Peak hours: 1,571 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,763 from 2:00 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.

Speeds here, last measured in 2012

On Douglas Ave between Welland Rd and Bathurst St, 128 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2006 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Covington Rd between Saranac Blvd and Brucewood Cres measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Mar 2012) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
