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 · Jul 9, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 3,720 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 291 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (281 of 650). Evening rush dominates here: 790 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 670 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 670 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 790 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The worst year was 2019, with 4 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 2 collisions (14%) involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 14% of collisions.

The most recent report on file is from Mar 10, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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 Jones Ave between Strathcona Ave and Harcourt Ave, 86 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in June 2017 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Strathcona Ave between Lane E of Pape and S of Strathcona and Blake St measured slower: 30 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Apr 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Jones Ave (72 m away, 40 km/h limit), 4.7% of the 88,259 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.
