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 · May 19, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 8,320 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 212 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,666 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,858 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% 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 2022, 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: 2,666 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,858 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2009
On Ellerslie Ave between Stafford Rd and Flook Lane, 228 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in February 2003 put the average speed at 47 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 55 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 61 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Carscadden Dr between Bathurst St and Hearthstone Cres measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 44 km/h (Nov 2009) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
