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 · Oct 29, 2007
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 7,179 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 619 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 2,767 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 2,209 in the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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: 2,209 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 2,767 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
The worst year was 2017, with 6 collisions; 2025 recorded 4. 3 collisions (10%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 10 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 34% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jul 8, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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 2021
On Scarlett Rd between Edenbridge Dr and Fontenay Crt, 139 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in November 2021 put the average speed at 61 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 69 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 74 km/h or more. That segment carries about 24,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

| Scarlett Rd · Edenbridge Dr – Fontenay Crt · 139 m | Nov 2021 · 24 h | 24,665 | 61 km/h | 69 km/h | 74 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.
