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 · Nov 12, 2024

Traffic is heaviest from the north: 4,390 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 37% of the total, against 1,697 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (86 of 137). Evening rush dominates here: 1,190 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 867 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 23 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

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 Terry Dr between Symes Rd and Gaffney Park Trl, 306 m from the corner, a 3-day count in November 2004 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 900 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Rockcliffe Blvd between Black Creek Trl and Woolner Ave measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Dec 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Rockcliffe Blvd (107 m away, 30 km/h limit), 24% of the 72,364 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Terry Drive between Rockcliffe Blvd and Symes Rd.
