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 · Jan 14, 2010
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 1,489 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 232 from the east. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 514 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 536 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 17 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2010, 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: 514 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 536 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 2019, with 3 collisions; 2025 recorded 0. 0 collisions (0%) involved an injury. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 44% 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 Sep 23, 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 Jun 4, 2012.

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 2022
On Shaw St between Pridham Pl and Lobb Ave, 103 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2022 put the average speed at 28 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 35 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 39 km/h or more. That segment carries about 4,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Shaw St · Pridham Pl – Lobb Ave · 103 m | Jun 2022 · 7 days | 4,914 | 28 km/h | 35 km/h | 39 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.
