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 · Jun 18, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 5,463 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 29% of the total, against 3,963 from the west. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,643 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,631 from 5:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,643 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,631 from 5:45 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 2016, with 11 collisions; 2025 recorded 9. 11 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 7 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 10% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 6 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (9%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 2 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Mar 4, 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 Dec 6, 2010.

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 Runnymede Rd between Glenwood Ave and Ardagh St, 335 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2000 put the average speed at 47 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 55 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 62 km/h or more. That segment carries about 5,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 26 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Annette St between Evelyn Ave and Fairview Ave measured slower: 40 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Jun 2018) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Annette St (288 m away, 40 km/h limit), 1.9% of the 45,713 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.
