Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Sep 10, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 556 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 95 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 175 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 22% above the afternoon peak from 3:00 p.m. (144). 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 175 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 144 from 3:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 1 collision. 0 collisions (0%) involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 40% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Nov 4, 2025.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

| With an injury | 0 | |
| Property damage only | 3 | |

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 McGregor Rd between Ashdean Dr and Balaclava Dr, 120 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2022 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 46 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 52 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on McGregor Rd (34 m away, 30 km/h limit), 14% of the 14,378 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
