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 · Feb 6, 2017
The east leg carries the load — 6,596 westbound vehicles, or 51% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 76. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,090 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,959 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2017, 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: 2,090 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,959 from 4:15 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
The City's counter on Danforth Ave between Balford Ave and Warden Ave (228 m away) recorded an average of 46 km/h in its 3-day count in May 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 54 km/h. That segment carries about 12,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

At the school-zone speed sign on Newport Ave (370 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 21,139 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
