Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · May 28, 2025
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 3,920 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 1,448 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 921 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 846 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 846 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 921 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 2016, with 4 collisions; 2025 recorded 0. 5 collisions (31%) involved an injury. 2 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 13% of collisions. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (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.
How fast traffic moves here
On Van Horne Ave between Shaughnessy Blvd and O'shea Cres, 49 m from the corner, a 3-day count in June 2025 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 6,800 vehicles a day. Shaughnessy Blvd between Nymark Ave and Goodview Rd measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 40 km/h (May 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Van Horne Ave (102 m away, 40 km/h limit), 8.2% of the 59,209 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
