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 · Jun 11, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 12,469 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 575 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (82 of 175). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,233 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,341 from 5:15 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.0% 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 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,233 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,341 from 5:15 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The worst year was 2018, with 54 collisions; 2025 recorded 22. 35 collisions (14%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 43 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 18 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 11 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 19, 2026.
Of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 2 pedestrians were among those hurt. One of the two happened in darkness. The most recent was on Oct 27, 2023. Going back to 2006, the total is 3.

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 most recent midblock count on Finch Ave E between Wayside Ave and Kennedy Rd (129 m away, Oct 2011) recorded volume only — about 40,245 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Silver Spring Blvd (336 m away, 30 km/h limit), 5.2% of the 29,740 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
