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 18, 2023
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 349 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 9 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the south (30 of 56). Evening rush dominates here: 114 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 95 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 4 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2023, 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: 95 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 114 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

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.
How fast traffic moves here
On Atkins Ave between Sheridan Ave and Brock Ave, 76 m from the corner, a 3-day count in May 2013 put the average speed at 28 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 38 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 43 km/h or more. That segment carries about 300 vehicles a day. The reading is 13 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Sheridan Ave between Lane S of Moutray and E of Sheridan and Moutray St measured slower: 22 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Sep 2025) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Brock Ave (174 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.3% of the 69,926 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none. 1 speed hump slow traffic on Atkins Avenue between Brock Ave and Sheridan Ave.
