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 · Dec 11, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 4,208 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 41% of the total, against 860 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 1,044 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:45 p.m., against 815 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.9% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 22 months old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 815 vehicles in the hour from 9:30 a.m. and 1,044 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The worst year was 2017, with 11 collisions; 2025 recorded 5. 8 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 12 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 24% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 5 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (10%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 23, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 2 earlier KSI collisions are on file, the last on Mar 4, 2012.

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 Tapscott Rd between Washburn Way and McLevin Ave, 105 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2025 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 54 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 59 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,500 vehicles a day. Washburn Way between Nahanni Ter and 301 Washburn Way measured slower: 43 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Apr 2025). At the school-zone speed sign on Tapscott Rd (80 m away, 50 km/h limit), 5.8% of the 185,790 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
