Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Oct 26, 2025 · weekend
The south leg carries the load — 3,138 northbound vehicles, or 37% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 1,392. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 874 vehicles in the hour from 2:00 p.m., 49% above the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. (585). Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.4%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 585 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 874 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
2018 was the peak year (11 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 18% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 12% of collisions, below the citywide 16%.

The most recent report on file is from Jul 10, 2026.

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
The City's counter on Pharmacy Ave between Huntingdale Blvd and Chester Le Blvd (319 m away) recorded an average of 51 km/h in its 3-day count in April 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 58 km/h.

Is Pharmacy & Chester Le a walkable intersection?

Within a walk: 1 school within 500 m · 2 licensed child care within 500 m; 7 stops within 300 m · 7 routes within 1 km; 1 park within 500 m.

A red-light camera penalty in Toronto is $328.25 — a $260 set fine, a $60 victim fund component and an $8.25 provincial licence plate access fee.
