Collisions fell 32%, from 98 in 2016–2020 to 67 in 2021–2025. Just one of those 165 collisions left someone killed or seriously injured.

Traffic volume

The City's latest turning-movement count — 14-hour, Nov 8, 2025 (a weekend day)

This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The west leg carries the load — 12,241 eastbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,506. Most cyclists arrived from the west (86 of 175). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,298 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 38% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (1,670). Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,183 vehicles. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.

Approach figures are vehicles entering the intersection from that leg over the whole count. A count is one day's traffic, not an annual average; the City recounts on an ad-hoc schedule.

How fast traffic moves here

Midblock speed counts on the intersection's streets, the nearest school-zone speed sign, and traffic calming

The City's counter on Tobermory Dr between Finch Ave W and Potsdam Rd (112 m away) recorded an average of 34 km/h in its 24-hour count in March 2013; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 2,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

Street segmentCountedVehicles / dayAverage85th percentile95th
Finch Ave W · Black Creek Trl – Tobermory Dr · 110 mNov 2011 · 3 days42,911
Tobermory Dr · Finch Ave W – Potsdam Rd · 112 mMar 2013 · 24 h2,48534 km/h42 km/h46 km/h

Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; the 85th-percentile speed is the figure engineers use — 85% of drivers were at or below it. Counts are ad hoc, so some are years old. A midblock reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data.
