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 18, 2025

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 774 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 296 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 199 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 184 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.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 19 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Humewood Dr between Maplewood Ave and Valewood Ave, 74 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2017 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more.
