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 · Jun 24, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 7,070 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 632 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the east (453 of 930). Evening rush dominates here: 1,464 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:45 p.m., against 1,199 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 16 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,199 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,464 from 5:45 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 12 collisions; 2025 recorded 4. 15 collisions (21%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 17 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 7 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (10%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Apr 24, 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 Thyra Ave between Sutherland Ave and Dentonia Park Ave, 188 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2004 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 46 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Danforth Ave between Sibley Ave and Eldon Ave measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Jun 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above. 3 speed humps slow traffic on Thyra Avenue between Danforth Ave and Dentonia Park Ave (installed 2006).
