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 · Nov 2, 2023
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The east leg carries the load — 11,457 westbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 2,470. Most cyclists arrived from the east (31 of 38). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,388 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,120). Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,120 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,388 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
The City's counter on Finch Ave W between Carney Rd and Senlac Rd (227 m away) recorded an average of 51 km/h in its 2-day count in March 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 62 km/h. That segment carries about 20,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Grantbrook St between Finch Ave W and Hendon Ave measured slower: 44 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 53 km/h (Feb 2011). At the school-zone speed sign on Finch Ave W (204 m away, 50 km/h limit), 5.8% of the 208,242 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
