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 · Dec 2, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The east leg carries the load — 963 westbound vehicles, or 67% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 200. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 211 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 13% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (186). Trucks and buses were 5.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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.

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 Queens Ave between Mimico Ave and Primrose Ave (46 m away) recorded an average of 31 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 39 km/h. That segment carries about 700 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

At the school-zone speed sign on Mimico Ave (99 m away, 30 km/h limit), 1.6% of the 135,395 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a small minority. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Queens Avenue between Lake Shore Blvd W and Mimico Ave, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.
