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 · Oct 25, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,754 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 289 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (89 of 196). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 696 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 675 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 696 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 675 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).

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 Cheritan Ave between Cortland Ave and Duplex Ave, 73 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2020 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 51 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Chatsworth Dr (377 m away, 30 km/h limit), 15% of the 7,959 vehicles logged in August 2025 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
