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 · Oct 17, 2018
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,388 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 465 from the south. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,553 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 14% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (1,361). Heavy vehicles made up 3.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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: 1,553 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,361 from 4:00 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 12 collisions; 2025 recorded 8. 17 collisions (20%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 3 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 13, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on Nov 29, 2018.

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.
Traffic on these streets
The City's most recent midblock count on McNicoll Ave between Markham Rd and Ironside Cres (74 m away, Sep 2019) recorded volume only — about 10,469 vehicles a day — with no speed data.
