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 · Oct 21, 2003
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,901 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 95 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (250 of 404). Evening rush dominates here: 1,580 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,338 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2003, 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: 1,338 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,580 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).

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 Dundas St E between Wardell St and Logan Ave, 22 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 52 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Dundas St E (277 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 11,385 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
