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 · Sep 2, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 7,753 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 472 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,624 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,368 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% 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: 1,368 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,624 from 4:00 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 2018, with 13 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 16 collisions (19%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city.

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 Eastern Ave between Lewis St and Dibble St, 282 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 22,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Carlaw Ave (387 m away, 30 km/h limit), 21% of the 91,875 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Booth Avenue between Queen St E and Eastern Ave (installed 2006).
