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 · Feb 2, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 750 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 43% of the total, against 451 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 311 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 295 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 311 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 295 from 4:00 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2021
On Clyde Ave between Bannockburn Ave and Haddington Ave, 304 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2021 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Old Orchard Grv between Grey Rd and Clyde Ave measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Jun 2018).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Old Orchard Grv · Grey Rd – Clyde Ave · 56 m | Jun 2018 · 3 days | 1,659 | 34 km/h | 42 km/h | 47 km/h |
| Clyde Ave · Bannockburn Ave – Haddington Ave · 304 m | Nov 2021 · 3 days | 2,781 | 37 km/h | 48 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.
