Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets

Peak hours: 616 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 602 from 4:30 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).

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 Oakburn Cres between Avonshire Parkette Trl and Avonshire Park Trl, 110 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in March 2001 put the average speed at 30 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 42 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 48 km/h or more. That segment carries about 200 vehicles a day. The reading is 25 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Avondale Ave between Yonge St and Lane E of Yonge and S of Glendora measured slower: 27 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 37 km/h (Apr 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above.

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.
