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 · Jun 6, 2006
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 3,326 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 56% of the total, against 511 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 923 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 850 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.2% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 20 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2006, 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: 850 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 923 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).

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 Oriole Pkwy between Tranmer Ave and Hillsdale Ave W, 106 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in April 2019 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 52 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Hillsdale Ave W between Eastbourne Ave and Oriole Pkwy measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Jun 2017). At the school-zone speed sign on Avenue Rd (328 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 71,169 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none.
