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 · Feb 8, 2012
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 1,357 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 65 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 469 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 503 from 4:45 p.m. 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 15 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2012, 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: 469 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 503 from 4:45 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 1 collision. 1 collision (20%) involved an injury. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 60% of collisions. 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 Jan 24, 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 2012
On Shaver Ave S between Statler Ave and Downing St, 212 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in April 2012 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 5,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Ovida Ave between Wilmar Rd and Shaver Ave S measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Jul 2011).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ovida Ave · Wilmar Rd – Shaver Ave S · 147 m | Jul 2011 · 24 h | 445 | 29 km/h | 43 km/h | 49 km/h |
| Shaver Ave S · Statler Ave – Downing St · 212 m | Apr 2012 · 24 h | 5,028 | 44 km/h | 53 km/h | 58 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.
