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 · Jan 22, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 15,737 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 514 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,612 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,682 from 3:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 2,612 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,682 from 3:30 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 14 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 7 collisions (10%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 16 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (1%), a low share for a Toronto intersection.

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 Kirkwood Rd between Tullamore Dr and Leslie St, 70 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in May 2012 put the average speed at 28 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 37 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 42 km/h or more. That segment carries about 700 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Kirkwood Rd · Tullamore Dr – Leslie St · 70 m | May 2012 · 24 h | 651 | 28 km/h | 37 km/h | 42 km/h |
| Leslie St · York Mills Rd – Farmstead Rd · 286 m | Oct 2014 · 7 days | 20,558 | — | — | — |
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.
