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 · May 24, 2000
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 769 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 201 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the north (35 of 61). Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 402 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m., 68% above the afternoon peak from 5:00 p.m. (239). 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 26 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2000, 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: 402 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 239 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

| All reported collisions | 9 | |
| With an injury | 1 | |
| Property damage only | 6 | |

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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2005
On Russell Hill Rd between Chaplin Cres and Lane S of Eglinton and W of Warren Rd, 373 m from the corner, a 3-day count in September 2005 put the average speed at 29 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 100 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Russell Hill Rd · Chaplin Cres – Lane S of Eglinton and W of Warren Rd · 373 m | Sep 2005 · 3 days | 131 | 29 km/h | 39 km/h | 44 km/h |
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.
