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 · Apr 2, 2019
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 5,519 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 62 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,950 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 1,677 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Trucks and buses were 10.6% 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 8 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2019, 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: 1,677 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,950 from 4:30 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 7 collisions. 6 collisions (21%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 21, 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 Nov 27, 2012.

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 Dixon Rd between Westona St and Kentroyal Dr, 130 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2021 put the average speed at 57 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 64 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 69 km/h or more. That segment carries about 23,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Scarlett Rd between Lockheed Blvd and Braeburn Ave measured slower: 52 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 60 km/h (Jul 2025). 3 speed humps slow traffic on Riverview Heights between Inchcliffe Cres and Dixon Rd.
