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
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 8,573 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 242 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (44 of 90). Evening rush dominates here: 1,617 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 1,082 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% 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: 1,082 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,617 from 3:15 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 worst year was 2021, with 15 collisions; 2025 recorded 6. 20 collisions (20%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 21 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 21% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 7 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 22, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Sep 15, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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 Tansley Ave and Carslake Cres, 397 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in September 2015 put the average speed at 60 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 68 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 74 km/h or more. That segment carries about 15,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 11 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Savarin St between Danforth Rd and Thicketwood Dr 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.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Savarin St · Danforth Rd – Thicketwood Dr · 162 m | Mar 2026 · 3 days | 486 | 32 km/h | 40 km/h | 46 km/h |
| Danforth Rd · Tansley Ave – Carslake Cres · 397 m | Sep 2015 · 24 h | 15,400 | 60 km/h | 68 km/h | 74 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.
