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 · Sep 2, 2020
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 145 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 61% of the total, against 38 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 37 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 27 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.4%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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: 27 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 37 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2005
On Cedarvale Ave between Sammon Ave and Carruthers Lane, 58 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2005 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Cedarvale Avenue between Strathmmore Boulevard and Sammon Ave.

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.
