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 · Mar 24, 2026
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,785 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 63% of the total, against 672 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 506 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 14% above the afternoon peak from 3:15 p.m. (445). Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 506 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 445 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2017
On Old Park Rd between Ridge Hill Dr and Shallmar Blvd, 46 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2017 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Old Park Rd · Ridge Hill Dr – Shallmar Blvd · 46 m | Jun 2017 · 3 days | 2,899 | 31 km/h | 39 km/h | 44 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.
