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
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,916 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 3,166 from the south. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,824 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 59% above the afternoon peak from 3:00 p.m. (1,150). Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% 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: 1,824 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,150 from 3:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 2013
On Lesmill Rd between Duncan Mill Rd and Leslie N, 259 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2013 put the average speed at 49 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 13,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Duncan Mill Rd between Lesmill Rd and Valleybrook Dr measured slower: 44 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 54 km/h (Mar 2013).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Duncan Mill Rd · Lesmill Rd – Valleybrook Dr · 234 m | Mar 2013 · 24 h | 7,066 | 44 km/h | 54 km/h | 59 km/h |
| Lesmill Rd · Duncan Mill Rd – Leslie N · 259 m | Mar 2013 · 24 h | 13,428 | 49 km/h | 58 km/h | 63 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.
