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 28, 2021
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 344 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 218 from the north. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 169 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 24% above the afternoon peak from 4:15 p.m. (136). Heavy vehicles made up 2.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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: 169 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 136 from 4:15 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
Toronto Police recorded no collisions of any severity within 65 m of this intersection in 2016–2025.
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 2019
On Shaver Ave N between Leagate Rd and Belgrove Dr, 289 m from the corner, a 2-day count in December 2006 put the average speed at 44 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 56 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more. That segment carries about 2,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Swan Ave between Wedgewood Dr and Martin Grove Rd measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 34 km/h (Apr 2019) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Swan Ave · Wedgewood Dr – Martin Grove Rd · 284 m | Apr 2019 · 2 days | 1,234 | 27 km/h | 34 km/h | 39 km/h |
| Shaver Ave N · Leagate Rd – Belgrove Dr · 289 m | Dec 2006 · 2 days | 2,866 | 44 km/h | 56 km/h | 63 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.
