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 · Jun 1, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. The north leg carries the load — 3,846 southbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 525. Most cyclists arrived from the south (85 of 173). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,322 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 21% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (1,089). Trucks and buses were 5.1% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 1,089 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 1,322 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
2019 was the peak year (5 collisions), and 2025 closed with 4. 21% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 17% of collisions, in line with the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 8% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 31, 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 9, 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
The City's counter on Portland St between Audley St and Wesley St (331 m away) recorded an average of 42 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 2,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Royal York Rd between Simpson Ave and Portland St measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Nov 2017). At the school-zone speed sign on Algoma St (279 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 8,570 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
