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 · Jan 12, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 3,873 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 277 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,215 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,226 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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: 1,215 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,226 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 2019, with 8 collisions; 2025 recorded 4. 10 collisions (29%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 3% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 16, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Sep 25, 2010.

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 2013
On Caledonia Rd between Bowie Ave and Schell Ave, 84 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in December 2013 put the average speed at 41 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 15,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Caledonia Rd · Bowie Ave – Schell Ave · 84 m | Dec 2013 · 24 h | 15,212 | 41 km/h | 49 km/h | 54 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.
