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 · Oct 19, 2024 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,348 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 450 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (68 of 147). Evening rush dominates here: 1,291 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:00 p.m., against 934 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 934 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,291 from 3:00 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 worst year was 2016, with 7 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 9 collisions (27%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported, 1 of them fatal; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 6, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. Since January 2026, after the ranking window closed, 1 serious-injury collision has been recorded here — it was fatal (1 motorcyclist involved), the latest on Apr 27, 2026. 1 older KSI collision is on file from before 2016.

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 Fundy Bay Blvd between Birchmount Rd and 24 Fundy Bay Blvd, 56 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in December 2005 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,800 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 Fundy Bay Blvd (355 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.3% of the 27,534 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority. 8 speed humps slow traffic on Fundy Bay Boulevard between Birchmount Rd and Bamburgh Crcl.
