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 26, 2025 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 6,826 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 653 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 1,367 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 871 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% 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. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 871 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,367 from 3:15 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 Keeler Blvd between Sandrift Sq and Edenmills Dr, 221 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2018 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 52 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Oakmeadow Blvd between Stonefield Cres and Highcastle Rd measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Oct 2023) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Highcastel Rd (342 m away, 30 km/h limit), 16% of the 14,962 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone. 8 speed humps slow traffic on Keeler Boulevard between Neilson Rd and David Dr.
