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: 8,474 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 154 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (51 of 98). Evening rush dominates here: 1,645 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,125 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. 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. 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: 1,125 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,645 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The worst year was 2022, with 7 collisions; 2025 recorded 3. 9 collisions (25%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 24, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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 Brimley Rd between Knob Hill Park Trl and Gully Dr, 261 m from the corner, a 7-day count in May 2023 put the average speed at 56 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more.
