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 · Aug 7, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 2,231 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 45% of the total, against 64 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 517 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 359 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.7% 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: 359 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 517 from 5:00 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 3 collisions; 2025 recorded 0. 1 collision (17%) involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (17%). The most recent report on file is from Jun 28, 2024.

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 Neilson Dr between Jeff Dr and Neiltree Crt, 208 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2025 put the average speed at 41 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 5,800 vehicles a day.

| Neilson Dr · Jeff Dr – Neiltree Crt · 208 m | Jun 2025 · 3 days | 5,813 | 41 km/h | 48 km/h | 53 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.
