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 · Jul 16, 2020
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 219 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 71 from the north. Evening rush dominates here: 88 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 72 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 0.5% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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: 72 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 88 from 2:00 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 Amsterdam Ave between Westview Blvd and Glenburn Ave, 150 m from the corner, a 3-day count in April 2004 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 53 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 58 km/h or more. That segment carries about 400 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Westview Blvd between Galbraith Ave and Amsterdam Ave measured slower: 34 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Mar 2007). At the school-zone speed sign on O'connor Dr (333 m away, 40 km/h limit), 29% of the 127,308 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — a high share for a school zone. 7 speed humps slow traffic on Amsterdam Avenue between Westview Blvd and Victoria Park Ave.
