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 7, 2011
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 452 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 63% of the total, against 264 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (38 of 81). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 131 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 135 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 11.3% 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 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2011, 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: 131 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 135 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 Chatham Ave between Lane 2 W of Greenwood and N of Chatham and Lane W of Greenwood and S of Chatham, 124 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2022 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Stratmore Blvd (212 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.5% of the 68,132 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Chatham Avenue between Byron Ave and Greenwood Ave.
