Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Nov 24, 2024 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 7,389 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 32% of the total, against 4,723 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 2,466 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:30 p.m., against 1,397 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% 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 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,397 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,466 from 2:30 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 2019, with 50 collisions; 2025 recorded 27. 56 collisions (17%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 35 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 8 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 27 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 25, 2026.
Neither of the two serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 1 pedestrian was among those hurt; one collision involved vehicle occupants only. The most recent was on May 10, 2023.

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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2017
On Midland Ave between Progress Ave and Hwy 401 Collectors W, 231 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in October 2017 put the average speed at 59 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 68 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 74 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Progress Ave · Midland Ave – Cosentino Dr · 124 m | Mar 2015 · 3 days | 8,489 | — | — | — |
| Midland Ave · Progress Ave – Hwy 401 Collectors W · 231 m | Oct 2017 · 24 h | 20,747 | 59 km/h | 68 km/h | 74 km/h |
Midblock counts are automatic counters laid across the road for one to seven days; 85% of drivers were at or below the 85th-percentile speed. A reading is not the speed through the intersection itself, and posted limits are not in the count data. How speeds are read.
