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 · May 21, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 12,359 eastbound vehicles, or 52% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 337. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,443 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 10% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,225). Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,225 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,443 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).

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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2013
The City's counter on Bloor St W between Poplar Ave and Wilmar Rd (244 m away) recorded an average of 48 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2003; 85% of drivers were at or under 56 km/h. That segment carries about 19,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Charleston Rd between Mervyn Ave and Leagate Rd measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 53 km/h (Feb 2013) — a much more recent reading than the one above. 7 speed humps slow traffic on Charleston Road between Bloor St W and Swan Ave.
