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 · May 6, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 12,276 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 1,082 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,388 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,323 from 4:30 p.m. Trucks and buses were 6.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 18 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

Peak hours: 2,388 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,323 from 4:30 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

The worst year was 2023, with 15 collisions; 2025 recorded 4. 7 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 11 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 25, 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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Sutherland Dr between Parklea Dr and Eglinton Ave E, 51 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2026 put the average speed at 25 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 33 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 37 km/h or more.
