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 · Sep 7, 2005

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 1,446 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 40% of the total, against 298 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 632 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:15 p.m., against 584 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.1%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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: 584 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 632 from 4:15 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.

How fast traffic moves here

On Rumsey Rd between Divadale Dr and Broadway Ave, 52 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2022 put the average speed at 32 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 38 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 42 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Broadway Ave between Hanna Rd and Tanager Ave measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Sep 2022). At the school-zone speed sign on Eglinton Ave E (375 m away, 50 km/h limit), 2.3% of the 27,589 vehicles logged in June 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.
