Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Aug 12, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 600 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 57% of the total, against 193 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 134 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 82 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 82 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 134 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 Lilywood Rd between Steven Ave and Times Rd, 137 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in May 2007 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 41 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 47 km/h or more. That segment carries about 500 vehicles a day. The reading is 19 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Danesbury Ave between Stayner Ave and Lilywood Rd measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Mar 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Danesbury Ave (147 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 20,625 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
