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 · Oct 9, 2003
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 126 eastbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 44. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 54 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 50% above the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. (36). Trucks and buses were 6.5% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 23 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2003, not today's volume. 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: 36 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 54 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
The City's counter on Walmsley Blvd between Baker Ave and Oriole Pkwy (136 m away) recorded an average of 26 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 34 km/h. That segment carries about 600 vehicles a day. The reading is 4 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Yonge St (226 m away, 40 km/h limit), 4.8% of the 71,266 vehicles logged in July 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a small minority.
