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 · Mar 1, 2025 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 12,940 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 1,483 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 2,678 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,992 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 20 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 1,992 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 2,678 from 2:00 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 21 collisions; 2025 recorded 8. 28 collisions (28%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 6 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 6% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city.

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 2021
On Barberry Pl between Sheppard Ave E and Thomas Clark Way, 56 m from the corner, a 3-day count in October 2021 put the average speed at 34 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 43 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 3,800 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
