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 · Oct 19, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,125 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 142 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (52 of 93). Evening rush dominates here: 982 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 909 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 909 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 982 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).

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 Beaton Ave between Wrenson Rd and Gerrard St E, 42 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2022 put the average speed at 27 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 34 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 39 km/h or more. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Gerrard St E (52 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.1% of the 85,641 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority. 1 speed hump slow traffic on Beaton Avenue between Gerrard St E and Wrenson Rd.
