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 · Dec 18, 2019
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 8,493 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 133 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,326 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 2,454 from 4:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 7.3% 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 7 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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: 2,326 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 2,454 from 4:15 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, 291 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.
