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: 9,105 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 666 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (82 of 120). Evening rush dominates here: 1,810 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:45 p.m., against 1,254 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% 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: 1,254 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,810 from 2:45 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 2024, with 11 collisions; 2025 recorded 4. 6 collisions (12%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 18% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (8%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 24, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Aug 21, 2006.

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 Birchmount Rd between Glendower Crct and Timberbank Blvd, 220 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2011 put the average speed at 61 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 68 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 73 km/h or more. That segment carries about 18,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Timberbank Blvd between Chaldean St and Gloxinia Cres measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 53 km/h (Aug 2005). At the school-zone speed sign on Finch Ave E (340 m away, 50 km/h limit), 3.7% of the 6,554 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority. 17 speed humps slow traffic on Timberbank Boulevard between Bridletown Circle and Birchmount Rd.
