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 · Apr 26, 2023
This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,826 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 79 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 1,092 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 778 in the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.5% 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; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 778 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,092 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 Talbot Rd between Gaslight Crt and Blake Ave, 250 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in September 2009 put the average speed at 46 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 8,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 17 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Drewry Ave (268 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 8,869 vehicles logged in May 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
