Traffic volume8-hour count · Feb 28, 2023
No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 7,175 and 8,335 vehicles. Most cyclists arrived from the west (30 of 31). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 5,132 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 5,004 from 4:45 p.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 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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: 5,132 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 5,004 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

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 Kern Rd and York Mills Rd, 324 m from the corner, a 3-day count in July 2022 put the average speed at 61 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 69 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 75 km/h or more. That segment carries about 24,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. York Mills Rd between Don Mills Rd and Valentine Dr measured slower: 55 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 67 km/h (Mar 2020).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Don Mills Rd · Kern Rd – York Mills Rd · 324 m | Jul 2022 · 3 days | 24,286 | 61 km/h | 69 km/h | 75 km/h |
| York Mills Rd · Don Mills Rd – Valentine Dr · 370 m | Mar 2020 · 3 days | 8,585 | 55 km/h | 67 km/h | 72 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.
