Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 2, 2024 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 10,940 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 30% of the total, against 7,853 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 3,391 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:00 p.m., against 2,537 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% 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: 2,537 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 3,391 from 3:00 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 45 collisions; 2025 recorded 31. 69 collisions (24%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 34 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 12 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 23 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 4, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 3 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Dec 16, 2015.

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 Chartland Blvd S and Finch Ave E, 115 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2020 put the average speed at 55 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 62 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 67 km/h or more. That segment carries about 7,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Finch Ave E between Chartland Blvd S and Brimley Rd measured slower: 52 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 59 km/h (Apr 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brimley Rd · Chartland Blvd S – Finch Ave E · 115 m | Mar 2020 · 3 days | 7,779 | 55 km/h | 62 km/h | 67 km/h |
| Finch Ave E · Chartland Blvd S – Brimley Rd · 200 m | Apr 2025 · 3 days | 28,135 | 52 km/h | 59 km/h | 64 km/h |
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.

Questions
Is Brimley & Finch a dangerous intersection?
Not by the record: no one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, though police reported 293 lesser collisions. High counts usually track high traffic volume rather than a design flaw; volume is shown alongside so the numbers can be read in context.

Is Brimley & Finch a walkable intersection?
Brimley & Finch scores 40 out of 100 on this site's within-a-walk measure; the city median is 48.

Within a walk: 2 schools within 500 m · 2 licensed child cares within 1 km; 5 stops within 300 m · 9 routes within 1 km; 1 park within 500 m. The crossing itself: traffic signal.

A red-light camera penalty in Toronto is $328.25 — a $260 set fine, a $60 victim fund component and an $8.25 provincial licence plate access fee.
