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 · Nov 8, 2016
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 3,773 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 52% of the total, against 79 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the east (67 of 134). Evening rush dominates here: 1,283 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 1,101 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 9.9% 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. The count is 10 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2016, 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: 1,101 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,283 from 4:15 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 most recent report on file is from Apr 13, 2026.
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 2004
On Pepler Ave between Lane N of O Connor and E of Pepler and Pape Ave, 122 m from the corner, a 2-day count in June 2004 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 300 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pepler Ave · Lane N of O Connor and E of Pepler – Pape Ave · 122 m | Jun 2004 · 2 days | 331 | 36 km/h | 48 km/h | 55 km/h |
| Pape Ave · Lane N of O Connor and E of Pape – Minton Pl · 167 m | May 2015 · 3 days | 7,468 | — | — | — |
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.
