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 14, 2020
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. Traffic is heaviest from the east: 384 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 39% of the total, against 275 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 168 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 91 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles were a negligible share of traffic (0.2%). 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: 91 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 168 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).

| Property damage only | 2 | |

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 2013
On Westview Blvd between Dalecrest Dr and Barrett Rd, 167 m from the corner, a 3-day count in March 2007 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 48 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 53 km/h or more. That segment carries about 1,200 vehicles a day. The reading is 19 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Selwyn Ave between Dalecrest Dr and Barrett Rd measured slower: 32 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 39 km/h (May 2013) — a much more recent reading than the one above. 5 speed humps slow traffic on Selwyn Avenue between St Clair Ave E and Westview Blvd.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Selwyn Ave · Dalecrest Dr – Barrett Rd · 121 m | May 2013 · 24 h | 2,365 | 32 km/h | 39 km/h | 43 km/h |

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.
