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 · Feb 4, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 1,104 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 455 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 377 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 43% above the afternoon peak from 3:15 p.m. (264). 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 377 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 264 from 3:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 Blantyre Ave between Parkland Rd and Swanwick Ave, 43 m from the corner, a 2-day count in March 2020 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Swanwick Ave between Victoria Park Ave and Blantyre Ave measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Dec 2004). At the school-zone speed sign on Blantyre Ave (19 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.5% of the 31,973 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
