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 · Sep 9, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the west: 1,188 eastbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 209 from the east. Unusually, the morning peak is the heavier one — 339 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m., 19% above the afternoon peak from 4:45 p.m. (286). Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 339 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 286 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).

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 Fairleigh Cres between Nicastro Lane and Whitmore Ave, 91 m from the corner, a 3-day count in February 2006 put the average speed at 37 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 300 vehicles a day. The reading is 20 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Whitmore Ave between Marlee Ave and Times Rd measured slower: 36 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 43 km/h (Jan 2015) — a much more recent reading than the one above. At the school-zone speed sign on Eglinton Ave W (225 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 108,880 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none.

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.
