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 · Jan 10, 2011
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 7,108 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 1,061 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,390 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 1,940 in the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.4% 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 16 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2011, 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: 1,940 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 2,390 from 4:45 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

Since January 2026, 12 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 30, 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2012
On Nymark Ave between Corning Rd and Glentworth Rd, 251 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2012 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 52 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,300 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Leslie St · Black Willoway – Nymark Ave · 46 m | Jun 2011 · 3 days | 15,238 | — | — | — |
| Nymark Ave · Corning Rd – Glentworth Rd · 251 m | Oct 2012 · 24 h | 2,261 | 44 km/h | 52 km/h | 57 km/h |
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.
