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 · Apr 1, 2008
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 704 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 149 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 361 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 26% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (287). Trucks and buses were 7.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2008, 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: 361 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 287 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 3 collisions. 0 collisions (0%) involved an injury. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 50% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Sep 30, 2025.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All reported collisions | 8 | |
| With an injury | 0 | |
| Property damage only | 4 | |
| Fail to remain | 4 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |
| Severity not classified | 4 | |
| Killed or seriously injured | 0 | |
| All KSI since 2006 | 0 |
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 Bellefair Ave between Queen St E and Norway Ave, 250 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2003 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day. The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Kingston Rd (370 m away, 40 km/h limit), 11% of the 182,634 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

- Speed sign
- Kingston Rd (westbound), 370 m — 40 km/h zone. Median 39 km/h, 85th percentile 48 km/h; 11% at 50 km/h or more. 182,634 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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.
