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 · Oct 6, 2020
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 1,524 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 100 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 575 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 484 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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: 484 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 575 from 4:00 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 Ruscica Dr between Sweetbriar Crt and Sloane Ave, 94 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in December 2006 put the average speed at 37 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 45 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 200 vehicles a day. The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Sloane Ave between Draycott Dr and Wigmore Dr measured slower: 28 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (May 2019) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Sweeney Dr (344 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 6,174 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
