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, 2005

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 552 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 65% of the total, against 145 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 185 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 52% above the afternoon peak from 4:00 p.m. (122). Heavy vehicles made up 1.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 21 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2005, 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: 185 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 122 from 4:00 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 Ypres Rd between Scott Rd and Lane E of Keele and N of Ypres, 75 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2015 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 800 vehicles a day. The reading is 11 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Scott Rd between Holwood Ave and Cameron Ave measured slower: 31 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Mar 2015). At the school-zone speed sign on Keele St (293 m away, 50 km/h limit), 1.3% of the 76,224 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.
