Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Apr 18, 2006
No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 7,147 and 7,160 vehicles. Most cyclists arrived from the east (100 of 144). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,221 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 2,274 from 4:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 5.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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: 2,221 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 2,274 from 4:00 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
The worst year was 2018, with 10 collisions; 2025 recorded 9. 6 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 10 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 8, 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 Malvern Ave between Kingston Rd and Lyall Ave, 85 m from the corner, a 3-day count in January 2006 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 41 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 46 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Lyall Ave (182 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 42,583 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 6 speed humps slow traffic on Malvern Avenue between Gerrard St E and Kingston Rd.
