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 · Apr 19, 2006
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 240 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 54 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 91 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 85 from 4:15 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 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: 91 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 85 from 4:15 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 Glenburn Ave between Peard Rd and Adair Rd, 135 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2007 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 19 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on St Clair Ave E (367 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 63,621 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none. 1 speed hump slow traffic on Glenburn Avenue between St Clair Ave E and Holmstead Ave, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.
