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 · Sep 24, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 1,392 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 67% of the total, against 671 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the east (50 of 85). Evening rush dominates here: 231 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:30 p.m., against 175 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. 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: 175 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 231 from 5:30 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 3 collisions. 1 collision (8%) involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Dec 22, 2025.
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.
How fast traffic moves here
On Ormskirk Ave between Southport St and Ormskirk Crt, 34 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in April 2022 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 40 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Windermere Ave (338 m away, 30 km/h limit), 6.0% of the 82,436 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
