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 · Aug 30, 2007
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 781 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 168 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 266 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 202 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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: 202 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 266 from 4:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

| Property damage only | 5 | |

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 Doncaster Ave between Lane E of Main St and S of Doncaster and Barrington Ave, 175 m from the corner, a 2-day count in November 2013 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 4,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Chisholm Ave between Doncaster Ave and Epsom Ave measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Nov 2023) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Palmer St. (334 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.5% of the 8,640 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Doncaster Avenue between Westlake Ave and Chisholm Ave.
