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 · Mar 29, 2018
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,455 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 116 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (79 of 137). Evening rush dominates here: 1,273 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 1,173 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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: 1,173 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,273 from 4:00 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

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 2022
On Davenport Rd between Walkway W of Lightbourn and S of Davenport and Greenlaw Ave, 79 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 12,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Primrose Ave between Lane N of Brandon and E of Primrose and Davenport Rd measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (May 2017).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Davenport Rd · Walkway W of Lightbourn and S of Davenport – Greenlaw Ave · 79 m | Jun 2022 · 7 days | 12,888 | 42 km/h | 49 km/h | 54 km/h |
| Primrose Ave · Lane N of Brandon and E of Primrose – Davenport Rd · 165 m | May 2017 · 2 days | 773 | 37 km/h | 47 km/h | 52 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.
