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 · Nov 24, 2008

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,956 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 569 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 1,026 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 19% above the afternoon peak from 4:45 p.m. (862). Trucks and buses were 6.4% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 18 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2008, 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.

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, 121 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.
