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 · Mar 24, 2024 · weekend
No single direction dominates: each approach carried between 2,917 and 3,462 vehicles. Evening rush dominates here: 1,383 vehicles in the peak hour from 3:15 p.m., against 771 in the morning peak from 9:30 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 was taken on a Sunday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 771 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,383 from 3:15 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 worst year was 2023, with 54 collisions; 2025 recorded 39. 14 collisions (4%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 129 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 33% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (1%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 39 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 16, 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 2017
On Esther Shiner Blvd between Provost Dr and Old Leslie St, 128 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in August 2017 put the average speed at 52 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 63 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

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.
