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 · Sep 20, 2023
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the west: 899 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 47% of the total, against 200 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the west (79 of 153). Evening rush dominates here: 225 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:15 p.m., against 204 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 204 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 225 from 5:15 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 1 collision; 2025 recorded 0. 0 collisions (0%) involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 100% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. The most recent report on file is from Dec 13, 2021.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.
| 2016–2025 | Collisions | |
|---|---|---|
| All reported collisions | 1 | |
| With an injury | 0 | |
| Property damage only | 0 | |
| Fail to remain | 1 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |

| All KSI since 2006 | 0 |
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 Fairview Ave between Annette St and Lane S of St Johns and E of Gilmour, 328 m from the corner, a 2-day count in July 2017 put the average speed at 36 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 44 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 400 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. St John's Rd between Gilmour Ave and Fisken Ave measured slower: 29 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 35 km/h (May 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| St John's Rd · Gilmour Ave – Fisken Ave · 147 m | May 2026 · 3 days | 2,172 | 29 km/h | 35 km/h | 39 km/h |
| Fairview Ave · Annette St – Lane S of St Johns and E of Gilmour · 328 m | Jul 2017 · 2 days | 393 | 36 km/h | 44 km/h | 50 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.
