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 · Dec 17, 2022 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 2,060 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 40% of the total, against 216 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 862 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 405 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. 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: 405 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 862 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
The worst year was 2016, with 10 collisions; 2025 recorded 4. 14 collisions (24%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 10 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 15, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 cyclist was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on May 31, 2017.

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 Conlins Rd between Military Trl and Ellesmere Rd, 253 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in September 2010 put the average speed at 49 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 65 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Ellesmere Rd between Military Trl and Mirrow Crt measured slower: 47 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 55 km/h (Dec 2023) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Conlins Rd · Military Trl – Ellesmere Rd · 253 m | Sep 2010 · 24 h | 1,161 | 49 km/h | 59 km/h | 65 km/h |
| Ellesmere Rd · Military Trl – Mirrow Crt · 288 m | Dec 2023 · 3 days | 13,132 | 47 km/h | 55 km/h | 60 km/h |
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.
