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 · Oct 25, 2005
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 690 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 50 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 297 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 13% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (263). Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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: 297 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 263 from 4:30 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

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 Bicknell Ave between Juliet Cres and Avon Dr, 173 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2020 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 46 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Keele St (169 m away, 50 km/h limit), 1.3% of the 76,224 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.
