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 · Apr 21, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 1,074 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 37% of the total, against 358 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 545 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 14% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (477). Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% 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 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: 545 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 477 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).

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 Hillsdale Ave E between Cleveland St and Bayview Ave, 147 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2017 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 51 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Cleveland St between Belsize Dr and Manor Rd E measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Sep 2014). At the school-zone speed sign on Cheston Rd (214 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 7,712 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 6 speed humps slow traffic on Hillsdale Avenue East between Forman Ave and Cleveland St (installed 2005), and 1 more calmed segment ends here.
