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 · Nov 19, 2014
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 2,502 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 225 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (62 of 110). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 741 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 731 from 2:00 p.m. Trucks and buses were 15.0% 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 12 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2014, 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: 741 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 731 from 2:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The worst year was 2023, with 7 collisions; 2025 recorded 5. 5 collisions (12%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 15% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. 2 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (5%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Aug 10, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Nov 27, 2015.

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 Grenadier Rd between Lane W of Roncesvalles and S of Grenadier and Lane E of Sunnyside and S of Grenadier, 96 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2025 put the average speed at 29 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 38 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 43 km/h or more.
