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 · Nov 26, 2024
The west leg carries the load — 736 eastbound vehicles, or 42% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 41. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 197 vehicles in the hour from 3:45 p.m., 19% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (165). Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 165 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 197 from 3:45 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
2016 was the peak year (2 collisions), and 2025 closed with 0. 40% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from May 3, 2021.
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 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
The City's counter on Scarboro Cres between Glenridge Rd and Kelsonia Ave (46 m away) recorded an average of 30 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2007; 85% of drivers were at or under 35 km/h. That segment carries about 1,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 19 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Midland Ave (342 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.9% of the 91,739 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none.
