Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume8-hour count · Jul 10, 1997
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 8,630 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 58% of the total, against 18 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (40 of 51). Evening rush dominates here: 2,516 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 1,862 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 29 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1997, not today's volume. It was an 8-hour count, which is not directly comparable with the 14-hour counts the City has used since September 2023.
Peak hours: 1,862 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,516 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).

No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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 2018
On O'Connor Dr between Warland Ave and Wolverton Ave, 301 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2018 put the average speed at 49 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 57 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 62 km/h or more. That segment carries about 33,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 8 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Lesmount Ave between Cosburn Ave and Plains Rd measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Sep 2007).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| O'Connor Dr · Warland Ave – Wolverton Ave · 301 m | May 2018 · 3 days | 33,764 | 49 km/h | 57 km/h | 62 km/h |
| Lesmount Ave · Cosburn Ave – Plains Rd · 316 m | Sep 2007 · 2 days | 701 | 39 km/h | 49 km/h | 54 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.
