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 · Jan 25, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 2,397 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 598 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,033 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 990 from 4:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 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: 1,033 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 990 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The worst year was 2017, with 7 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 5 collisions (15%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 3% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Feb 28, 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 Cummer Ave between Willow Heights Crt and Geranium Crt, 152 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2008 put the average speed at 59 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 74 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 103 km/h or more. That segment carries about 6,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 18 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 (217 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.4% of the 31,211 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.
