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 · Jun 7, 2007
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 386 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 40% of the total, against 43 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 166 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m., 14% above the afternoon peak from 4:45 p.m. (145). Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.4%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 19 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2007, 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: 166 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 145 from 4:45 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 2021, with 3 collisions; 2025 recorded 1. 0 collisions (0%) involved an injury. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 50% of collisions. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (17%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Feb 13, 2026.

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 Wexford Blvd between Sandusky Gt and Sherwood Ave, 84 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in February 2011 put the average speed at 41 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,100 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Sherwood Ave between Droxford Ave and Wexford Blvd measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Sep 2023) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Pharmacy Ave (330 m away, 50 km/h limit), 3.5% of the 200,653 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a small minority.
