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 · Jul 7, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 6,399 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 276 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (69 of 143). Evening rush dominates here: 1,328 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 1,057 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% 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: 1,057 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,328 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 3 collisions. 5 collisions (33%) involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%). The most recent report on file is from Dec 31, 2025.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Feb 5, 2015.

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 Danforth Rd between Hart Ave and Linden Ave, 134 m from the corner, a 2-day count in April 2019 put the average speed at 57 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 68 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 75 km/h or more. That segment carries about 24,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Linden Ave between Laurel Ave and Harmony Ave measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 50 km/h (Oct 2004). At the school-zone speed sign on Danforth Rd (18 m away, 50 km/h limit), 9.6% of the 167,692 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
