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 · Apr 28, 2026

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 1,822 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 46% of the total, against 514 from the south. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 478 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 20% above the afternoon peak from 3:45 p.m. (399). Trucks and buses were 5.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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 Willowridge Rd between Eglinton W and Richgrove Dr, 80 m from the corner, a 3-day count in July 2008 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 18 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Richgrove Dr between Martin Grove Rd and Willowridge Rd measured slower: 37 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 45 km/h (Apr 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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.
