Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Mar 7, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 2,937 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 408 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 745 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 459 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 459 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 745 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).

Speeds here, last measured in 2013
On The Pond Rd between Atkinson Rd and Seneca Lane, 36 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in May 2013 put the average speed at 47 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 7,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
