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 · Nov 2, 2024 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 9,723 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 311 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,155 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:15 p.m., against 1,292 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.1% 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: 1,292 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,155 from 2:15 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 2017, with 17 collisions; 2025 recorded 12. 30 collisions (26%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 14 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 12 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 6, 2026.
Of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Feb 15, 2024.

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 2019
On Brimorton Dr between Doerr Rd and Jackmuir Cres, 208 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2019 put the average speed at 48 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 55 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 61 km/h or more. That segment carries about 5,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Waterfield Dr between Stokewell Pl and Tordale Cres measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Oct 2007).

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
