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 · Mar 19, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 1,074 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 40% of the total, against 795 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 290 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 289 from 2:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 290 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 289 from 2:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All reported collisions | 8 | |
| With an injury | 0 | |
| Property damage only | 8 | |

| All KSI since 2006 | 0 |
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 2009
On Picaro Dr between Firgrove Cres and Blaney Cres, 137 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in June 2003 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 23 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Firgrove Cres between Jane St and Dune Grassway measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Mar 2009) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Picaro Dr · Firgrove Cres – Blaney Cres · 137 m | Jun 2003 · 24 h | 1,392 | 42 km/h | 53 km/h | 59 km/h |
| Firgrove Cres · Jane St – Dune Grassway · 359 m | Mar 2009 · 24 h | 2,739 | 30 km/h | 40 km/h | 45 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.
