Traffic and safety

The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera

Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 29, 2023

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 5,763 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 31% of the total, against 2,994 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 3,118 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 2,239 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's most recent midblock count on Albion Rd between Martin Grove N and Martin Grove Rd (37 m away, May 2015) recorded volume only — about 18,065 vehicles a day — with no speed data. At the school-zone speed sign on Silverstone Dr (397 m away, 40 km/h limit), 6.0% of the 37,125 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
