The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 16, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 8,534 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 189 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (75 of 163). Evening rush dominates here: 1,442 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:45 p.m., against 1,325 in the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 1,325 vehicles in the hour from 8:45 a.m. and 1,442 from 3:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 Playfair Ave between Caledonia Rd and Eugene St, 108 m from the corner, a 2-day count in December 2003 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Caledonia Rd between Joyce Pkwy and Marcia Ave measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Sep 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Joyce Pkwy (240 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 9,405 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Playfair Avenue between Caledonia Rd and Dufferin St.
