Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Dec 5, 2018
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 2,762 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 261 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,095 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 667 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Peak hours: 667 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,095 from 4:45 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 2016, with 4 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 3 collisions (18%) involved an injury. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 24% of collisions. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 4, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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
On Yelland St between Queenslea Ave and Debby Crt, 207 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in May 2009 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Oak St between Knob Hill Dr and Gary Dr measured slower: 38 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Jul 2023) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yelland St · Queenslea Ave – Debby Crt · 207 m | May 2009 · 24 h | 2,696 | 43 km/h | 50 km/h | 55 km/h |
| Gary Dr · Wendell Ave – Howbert Dr · 222 m | May 2012 · 24 h | 6,927 | 40 km/h | 47 km/h | 50 km/h |
| Oak St · Knob Hill Dr – Gary Dr · 299 m | Jul 2023 · 7 days | 8,667 | 38 km/h | 45 km/h | 50 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.
