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 · Dec 10, 2023 · weekend
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,220 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 1,912 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,381 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 623 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 623 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,381 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 2022, with 14 collisions; 2025 recorded 12. 12 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 15 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 16% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (1%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 13, 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 Oasis Blvd between Seasons Dr and Pinoak St, 298 m from the corner, a 2-day count in March 2020 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 51 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Seasons Dr (263 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 32,945 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
