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 · Nov 15, 2025 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the west: 6,648 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 1,294 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,665 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 1,081 in the morning peak from 9:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 4.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.

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 2012

On Finch Ave W between Hwy 27 S and Woodbine Downs Blvd, 335 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in August 2012 put the average speed at 48 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 63 km/h or more.
