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 · Nov 23, 2024 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 8,279 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 620 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,617 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:15 p.m., against 1,178 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.0% 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 Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,178 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,617 from 2:15 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 13 collisions; 2025 recorded 7. 14 collisions (22%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 10 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 20, 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 Midland Ave between Tara Ave and Romulus Dr, 65 m from the corner, a 2-day count in April 2019 put the average speed at 51 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 10,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Marcos Blvd (129 m away, 30 km/h limit), 3.1% of the 40,601 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority.
