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 8, 2025 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 9,136 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 29% of the total, against 6,028 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 3,105 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:15 p.m., against 2,026 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 2,026 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 3,105 from 2:15 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 31 collisions. 41 collisions (24%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 21 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 8 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 14 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 15, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt. It happened in daylight or lit conditions. The most recent was on May 11, 2024. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2012
On Finch Ave W between Hwy 27 S and Woodbine Downs Blvd, 156 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in August 2012 put the average speed at 48 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 19,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

| Finch Ave W · Hwy 27 S – Woodbine Downs Blvd · 156 m | Aug 2012 · 24 h | 19,122 | 48 km/h | 58 km/h | 63 km/h |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
