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 · Jun 16, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 2,208 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 1,135 from the north. Most cyclists arrived from the north (32 of 69). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 977 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 39% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (705). Trucks and buses were 5.2% 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 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 977 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 705 from 4:30 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.
How fast traffic moves here
On Lesmill Rd between Valleybrook Dr and Duncan Mill Rd, 199 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2000 put the average speed at 51 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 65 km/h or more. That segment carries about 4,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 26 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Valleybrook Dr between Lesmill Rd and Moatfield Dr measured slower: 10 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 16 km/h (Feb 2001). At the school-zone speed sign on Moatfield Dr (360 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 5,905 vehicles logged in June 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
