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 · May 28, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 4,743 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 575 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (165 of 323). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 949 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 910 from 5:30 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% 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: 949 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 910 from 5:30 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 Runnymede Rd between Colbeck St and Glenwood Ave, 198 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2026 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 51 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,700 vehicles a day. Ardagh St between Lane W of Runnymede and N of Ardagh and Beresford Ave measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (Nov 2017). At the school-zone speed sign on Runnymede Rd (20 m away, 40 km/h limit), 5.3% of the 108,092 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
