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 · Apr 19, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 7,235 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 210 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,325 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 2,126 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.1% 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 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 2,126 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,325 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 Finch Ave W between Ancona St and Muirkirk Rd, 216 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2020 put the average speed at 54 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 63 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 24,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Endell St between Finch Ave W and Lanbrooke Ave measured slower: 22 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 33 km/h (Apr 2023). At the school-zone speed sign on Finch Ave W (70 m away, 50 km/h limit), 3.7% of the 5,816 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.
