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 5, 2023

This is a three-leg intersection with no west leg. Traffic is heaviest from the north: 570 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 55% of the total, against 45 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 207 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:30 p.m., against 158 in the morning peak from 8:00 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.

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 Tilbury Dr between Bayford Ave and Cuffley Cres S, 49 m from the corner, a 2-day count in September 2001 put the average speed at 33 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 39 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 44 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 25 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Keele St (322 m away, 30 km/h limit), 54% of the 330,076 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone.
