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 · Mar 30, 2022
Traffic is heaviest from the south: 1,081 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 53% of the total, against 91 from the west. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 380 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 14% above the afternoon peak from 2:45 p.m. (332). 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 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 380 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 332 from 2:45 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 Glen Park Ave between Shermount Ave and Walkway E of William R Allen and S of Glengrove, 90 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in July 2010 put the average speed at 35 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 55 km/h or more. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 16 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Shermount Ave between Glengrove Ave and Coldstream Ave measured slower: 35 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 42 km/h (Sep 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Glen Park Ave · Shermount Ave – Walkway E of William R Allen and S of Glengrove · 90 m | Jul 2010 · 24 h | 599 | 35 km/h | 48 km/h | 55 km/h |
| Shermount Ave · Glengrove Ave – Coldstream Ave · 150 m | Sep 2026 · 3 days | 3,112 | 35 km/h | 42 km/h | 46 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.
