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 volume8-hour count · Apr 3, 2018
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,681 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 381 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,254 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,280 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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: 2,254 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,280 from 5:00 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 Emmett Ave between Lane 1 W of Jane and N of Emmett and Lane 2 W of Jane and N of Emmett, 109 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2019 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more.
