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 · Jun 7, 2005
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 12,971 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 96 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 4,965 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 4,479 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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: 4,479 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,965 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

None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 9 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 22, 2026.

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 Don Mills Rd between Legato Crt and Farmcote Rd, 84 m from the corner, a 3-day count in July 2022 put the average speed at 55 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 22,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Don Mills Rd · Legato Crt – Farmcote Rd · 84 m | Jul 2022 · 3 days | 22,514 | 55 km/h | 64 km/h | 69 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.
