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 south: 5,080 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 2,000 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,962 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,727 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. 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 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,727 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,962 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The worst year was 2019, with 28 collisions; 2025 recorded 11. 39 collisions (23%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 39 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 23% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 11 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 16 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 30, 2026.

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 Martin Grove Rd between Rampart Rd and Finch Ave W, 396 m from the corner, a 2-day count in March 2019 put the average speed at 53 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 63 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 19,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. John Garland Blvd between Four Leaf Dr and Mosque Cres measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Apr 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on John Garland Blvd (147 m away, 40 km/h limit), 8.7% of the 142,540 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
