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 · Jun 13, 2011
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 11,778 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 373 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (46 of 70). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,103 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 3,265 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2011, 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: 3,103 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 3,265 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 2012
On Heathcote Ave between Berkindale Dr and Rollscourt Dr, 221 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2012 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
