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 · Nov 2, 2024 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,920 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 33% of the total, against 2,605 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (87 of 214). Evening rush dominates here: 1,641 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:00 p.m., against 1,296 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,296 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,641 from 3:00 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 worst year was 2017, with 20 collisions; 2025 recorded 8. 16 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 7% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 13 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 26, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Nov 21, 2018.

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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2017
On Danforth Rd between Kilmarnock Ave and Cotton Ave, 322 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in January 2017 put the average speed at 61 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 69 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 76 km/h or more. That segment carries about 16,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |

| Danforth Rd · Kilmarnock Ave – Cotton Ave · 322 m | Jan 2017 · 24 h | 16,293 | 61 km/h | 69 km/h | 76 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.
