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 · Sep 13, 2006
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 577 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 149 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 301 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 19% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (253). Heavy vehicles made up 0.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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: 301 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 253 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 2002
On Gerald St between Forest Heights Blvd and Wimpole Dr, 192 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in April 2002 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 51 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 56 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 24 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gerald St · Forest Heights Blvd – Wimpole Dr · 192 m | Apr 2002 · 24 h | 1,304 | 43 km/h | 51 km/h | 56 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.
