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 28, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 613 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 364 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 241 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 222 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 7.3% 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 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 222 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 241 from 5:00 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 3 collisions. 0 collisions (0%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 8 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 33% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Feb 3, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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 Chester Le Blvd between Pettibone Sq and 180 Chester Le Blvd, 110 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2022 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 41 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 46 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,400 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 Chester Le Blvd (100 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.0% of the 27,177 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.
