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 · Nov 23, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 629 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 198 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 225 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 230 from 2:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.3% 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: 225 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 230 from 2:45 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 Knowlton Dr between Lawndale Rd and Lochleven Dr, 188 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2005 put the average speed at 42 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 57 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Mason Rd between Glenda Rd and Adanac Dr measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (May 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on 96 Mason Rd (221 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.2% of the 23,546 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.
