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. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 239 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 118 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 77 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 69 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. 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.
Peak hours: 69 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 77 from 4:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 Queens Ave between Mimico Ave and Primrose Ave, 49 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2021 put the average speed at 31 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. 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 (137 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.
