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 · Jun 20, 2023
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,773 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 359 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (63 of 105). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,270 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,247 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 2,270 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,247 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.
How fast traffic moves here
On Bloor St W between Cosmo Rd and Tom Riley Park Trl, 261 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2026 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 18,700 vehicles a day. Thompson Ave between Lane S of Bloor and W of Brentwood and Meadowvale Dr measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Mar 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Montgomery Rd (242 m away, 40 km/h limit), 6.9% of the 50,131 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
