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 · Oct 23, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 2,302 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 1,523 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 584 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:45 p.m., against 511 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 511 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 584 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).

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 Runnymede Rd between Morningside Ave and Deforest Rd, 168 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2009 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Morningside Ave between Kennedy Ave and Runnymede Rd measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Mar 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Windermere Ave (377 m away, 30 km/h limit), 5.4% of the 126,189 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.

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.
