Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 4, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 13,362 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 7,989 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,996 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 3,139 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 3,139 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,996 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
The worst year was 2019, with 87 collisions; 2025 recorded 53. 99 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 71 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 14 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 37 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 25, 2026.
Of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025, one was fatal. 1 pedestrian and 1 motorcyclist were among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. 1 of the 3 happened in darkness — 33%, about the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Apr 26, 2018. Going back to 2006, the total is 6.

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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2012
On Albion Rd between John Grubb Crt and Todd Brook Dr, 313 m from the corner, a 2-day count in June 2012 put the average speed at 60 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 67 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 73 km/h or more. That segment carries about 26,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Islington Ave · Albion Rd – Islington S · 33 m | Oct 2014 · 7 days | 16,395 | — | — | — |
| Albion Rd · John Grubb Crt – Todd Brook Dr · 313 m | Jun 2012 · 2 days | 26,116 | 60 km/h | 67 km/h | 73 km/h |
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.
