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 · Oct 3, 2001
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,262 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 168 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,734 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,603 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 25 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2001, 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: 1,603 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,734 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The worst year was 2019, with 3 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 2 collisions (29%) involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions.

The most recent report on file is from Aug 23, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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 Birchmount Rd and Hibberts Dr, 254 m from the corner, a 2-day count in June 2019 put the average speed at 54 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 63 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 17,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. North Edgely Ave between Kenmore Ave and Danforth Rd measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Sep 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Danforth Rd (222 m away, 50 km/h limit), 3.0% of the 83,775 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.
