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 · Mar 10, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 11,694 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 1,330 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,155 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,297 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%).

Peak hours: 2,155 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,297 from 4:45 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 Bathurst St between Timberlane Dr and Danby Ave, 164 m from the corner, a 2-day count in September 2008 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 61 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 15,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 18 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. York Downs Dr between Armour Blvd and Bathurst St measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Oct 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| York Downs Dr · Armour Blvd – Bathurst St · 88 m | Oct 2025 · 3 days | 3,148 | 32 km/h | 39 km/h | 43 km/h |
| Bathurst St · Timberlane Dr – Danby Ave · 164 m | Sep 2008 · 2 days | 15,531 | 50 km/h | 61 km/h | 68 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.
