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 · Aug 21, 2025
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 3,743 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 44% of the total, against 1 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (570 of 1,212). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 769 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 748 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 14 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 769 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 748 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The worst year was 2023, with 13 collisions; 2025 recorded 4. 7 collisions (12%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 14 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 25% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 10 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 2, 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 Aug 14, 2012.

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 Wright Ave between Roncesvalles Ave and Sunnyside Ave, 93 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2012 put the average speed at 28 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 1,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Sunnyside Ave (234 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.2% of the 54,844 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 7 speed humps slow traffic on Wright Avenue between Roncesvalles Ave and MacDonell Ave.
