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 · Dec 15, 2021
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 724 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 66% of the total, against 378 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 179 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 128 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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: 128 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 179 from 4:30 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

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 Superior Ave between Stanley Ave and Queens Ave, 177 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2021 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 52 km/h or more. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Cavell Ave between Superior Ave and Station Rd measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Nov 2021). At the school-zone speed sign on Stanley Ave (365 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.6% of the 110,135 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Superior Avenue between Lake Shore Blvd W and Cavell Ave.
