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 east: 8,217 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 33% of the total, against 4,269 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 2,674 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:45 p.m., against 1,584 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.2% 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 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: 1,584 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,674 from 2:45 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 24 collisions; 2025 recorded 18. 31 collisions (24%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 16 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 9 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (7%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 16 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 23, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Sep 10, 2008.

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 Hagley Rd and Reeve Ave, 260 m from the corner, a 2-day count in January 2020 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 55 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 60 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,000 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 Midland Ave (380 m away, 50 km/h limit), 2.3% of the 128,862 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.
