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 28, 2009
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,152 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 42% of the total, against 1,487 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,489 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,186 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 18 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2009, 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: 1,186 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,489 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 2016, with 6 collisions; 2025 recorded 2. 1 collision (3%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 24% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 25, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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 Bishop Ave between Longmore St and Maxome Ave, 217 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in April 2011 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Maxome Ave between Finch Corridor Trl and Gustav Cres measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 46 km/h (Mar 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Maxome Ave (145 m away, 30 km/h limit), 14% of the 46,540 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

| Bishop Ave · Longmore St – Maxome Ave · 217 m | Apr 2011 · 24 h | 2,637 | 50 km/h | 58 km/h | 63 km/h |

- Speed sign
- Maxome Ave (northbound), 145 m — 30 km/h zone. Median 32 km/h, 85th percentile 39 km/h; 14% at 40 km/h or more. 46,540 vehicles logged in August 2026; runs weekdays, 7 am - 9 pm.
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
