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 · Nov 10, 2011
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 500 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 6 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 158 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 166 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 10.4% 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 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2011, 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: 158 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 166 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

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 Thompson St between Lane W of Hamilton and N of Thompson and Hamilton St, 16 m from the corner, a 2-day count in November 2017 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 47 km/h or more. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Hamilton St between Kintyre Ave and Lane 2 S of Dundas and W of Hamilton St measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Nov 2017). At the school-zone speed sign on Broadview Ave (282 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 200,031 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

- Broadview Ave (southbound), 282 m — 40 km/h zone. Median 22 km/h, 85th percentile 33 km/h; 0.3% at 50 km/h or more. 200,031 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
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.
