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 · Jan 9, 2013
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 753 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 174 from the north. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 333 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 336 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 14 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2013, 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: 333 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 336 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).

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 Evans Ave between Ardagh St and Lane N of Ardagh and W of Evans, 366 m from the corner, a 2-day count in November 2011 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 49 km/h or more. That segment carries about 300 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Colbeck St between Lane E of Jane and N of Colbeck and Jane St measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Feb 2001). At the school-zone speed sign on Jane St (243 m away, 30 km/h limit), 64% of the 136,324 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.
