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 · Oct 19, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 286 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 140 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 145 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 39% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (104). Heavy vehicles made up 2.7% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). 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: 145 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 104 from 5:00 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.
How fast traffic moves here
On Wayland Ave between Lyall Ave and Swanwick Ave, 105 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2015 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 300 vehicles a day. The reading is 11 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Lyall Ave between Hannaford St and Pickering St measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (Nov 2003). At the school-zone speed sign on Lyall Ave (71 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 Wayland Avenue between Gerrard St E and Lyall Ave.
