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 · Aug 5, 2020
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 259 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 133 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 97 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 57 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.4%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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: 57 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 97 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 worst year was 2020, with 2 collisions; 2025 recorded 0. 1 collision (33%) involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 33% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Dec 12, 2020.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |

| All reported collisions | 3 | |
| With an injury | 1 | |
| Property damage only | 1 | |

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 2018
On Meadowacres Dr between Farmcrest Dr and Commons Dr, 305 m from the corner, a 2-day count in February 2006 put the average speed at 41 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 400 vehicles a day. The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Pharmacy Ave between Walkway N of Seabury and E of Pharmacy and Farmcrest Dr measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 50 km/h (Oct 2018) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Pharmacy Ave · Walkway N of Seabury and E of Pharmacy – Farmcrest Dr · 69 m | Oct 2018 · 2 days | 942 | 42 km/h | 50 km/h | 55 km/h |
| Meadowacres Dr · Farmcrest Dr – Commons Dr · 305 m | Feb 2006 · 2 days | 384 | 41 km/h | 50 km/h | 58 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.
