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 19, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 221 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 96 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 152 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 30% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (117). Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% 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 2022, 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: 152 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 117 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).

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 Eastwood Ave between Freeman St and Hollis Ave, 106 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in July 2013 put the average speed at 38 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 400 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Freeman St between Phenix Dr and Birchcliff Ave measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 38 km/h (Jun 2019) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Kingston Rd (215 m away, 40 km/h limit), 13% of the 59,528 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
