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 · Apr 26, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the south: 284 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 71 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 183 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 73% above the afternoon peak from 4:30 p.m. (106). 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 4 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 183 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 106 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 Maniza Rd between Spalding Rd and Plewes Rd, 50 m from the corner, a 2-day count in April 2019 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 46 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Plewes Rd between Maniza Rd and Ancaster Park Trl measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Jun 2023). At the school-zone speed sign on Plewes Rd S (78 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.4% of the 7,498 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.
