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 21, 2025
The west leg carries the load — 12,186 eastbound vehicles, or 47% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 910. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,710 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 11% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (2,434). Heavy vehicles made up 2.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 17 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 2,434 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,710 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
2022 was the peak year (6 collisions), and 2025 closed with 5. 9% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 6% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 4 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 10, 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 Dec 10, 2009.

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 2012
The City's counter on Bloor St W between Laurel Ave and Tremont Rd (355 m away) recorded an average of 55 km/h in its 24-hour count in May 2007; 85% of drivers were at or under 63 km/h. That segment carries about 18,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 19 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Shaver Ave S between Statler Ave and Downing St measured slower: 44 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 53 km/h (Apr 2012) — a much more recent reading than the one above. 8 speed humps slow traffic on Shaver Avenue South between Dundas St W and Bloor St W, and 1 more calmed segment ends here.
