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 · Nov 19, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 17,165 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 1,511 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (40 of 60). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,802 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,943 from 5:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 McKee Ave between Estelle Ave and Bayview Ave, 139 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in July 2005 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Bunty Ln (392 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.5% of the 27,813 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
