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 · Apr 21, 2010
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 915 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 54% of the total, against 35 from the south. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 287 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 309 from 5:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 9.1% 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. The count is 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2010, 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: 287 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 309 from 5:00 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2012
On Ridelle Ave between Marwood Rd and Fernwood Rd, 336 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in December 2012 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 47 km/h or more. That segment carries about 4,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ridelle Ave · Marwood Rd – Fernwood Rd · 336 m | Dec 2012 · 24 h | 4,686 | 36 km/h | 43 km/h | 47 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.
