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 south: 8,540 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 337 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,632 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,123 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: 1,123 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,632 from 4:45 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 2016, with 14 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 19 collisions (29%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 11 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 13, 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2019
On Danforth Rd between Elmdon Crt and Mackinac Cres, 138 m from the corner, a 2-day count in September 2019 put the average speed at 65 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 74 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 79 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Seminole Ave between Gage Ave and Mackinac Cres measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Jun 2012).

| Danforth Rd · Elmdon Crt – Mackinac Cres · 138 m | Sep 2019 · 2 days | 20,706 | 65 km/h | 74 km/h | 79 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.
