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 · Dec 1, 2021
The west leg carries the load — 645 eastbound vehicles, or 60% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 51. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 193 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 30% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (148). Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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: 148 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 193 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
The City's counter on Wheatfield Rd between Hillside Ave and Mimico Ave (119 m away) recorded an average of 28 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 38 km/h. That segment carries about 300 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Hillside Ave between Wheatfield Rd and Central St measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Nov 2021). At the school-zone speed sign on Mimico Ave (314 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.6% of the 135,395 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Hillside Avenue between Wheatfield Rd and Lake Shore Blvd W.
