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 · Apr 4, 2019
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,646 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 394 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,037 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,860 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 8.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, not today's volume. 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: 1,860 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,037 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).

The most recent report on file is from Mar 7, 2025.

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, 299 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. That segment carries about 19,800 vehicles a day. Seminole Ave between Tansley Ave and Glos Ave measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Jun 2019). At the school-zone speed sign on Brimley Rd (62 m away, 50 km/h limit), 5.0% of the 55,155 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
