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 · Sep 10, 2005 · weekend
No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 5,629 and 6,878 vehicles. Most cyclists arrived from the north (44 of 88). Evening rush dominates here: 1,864 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,254 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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: 1,254 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,864 from 2:00 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 6 collisions. 4 collisions (12%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 9% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (3%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 3 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 1, 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.
How fast traffic moves here
On Parkside Dr between Wright Ave and High Park Trl, 165 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2022 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 56 km/h or more. That segment carries about 18,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Parkside Dr · Wright Ave – High Park Trl · 165 m | Nov 2022 · 3 days | 18,473 | 39 km/h | 49 km/h | 56 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.
