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 · Dec 9, 2015
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 1,848 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 36% of the total, against 439 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,046 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:45 p.m., against 698 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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: 698 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 1,046 from 4:45 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 5 collisions. 5 collisions (22%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 5 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 22% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 4 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (17%) — a high share for a Toronto intersection. The most recent report on file is from Dec 4, 2025.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 2006.

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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2019
On Gary Dr between Wendell Ave and Howbert Dr, 73 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in May 2012 put the average speed at 40 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 47 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 50 km/h or more. That segment carries about 6,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Wendell Ave between Gary Dr and Pellatt Ave measured slower: 33 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (Apr 2019) — a much more recent reading than the one above. 4 speed humps slow traffic on Wendell Avenue between Gary Dr and Pellatt Ave.
