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 22, 2015
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 1,843 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 12 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 668 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 569 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Trucks and buses were 11.6% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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: 569 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 668 from 4:00 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

Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 25, 2026.

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 Gunns Rd between Lavender Creek Trl and Weston Rd, 155 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in July 2012 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 52 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 6,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Glen Scarlett Rd between Gunns Rd and Symes Rd measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 47 km/h (Dec 2008). At the school-zone speed sign on McCormack St (366 m away, 30 km/h limit), 2.5% of the 36,801 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.
