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 · Jun 4, 2024
Traffic is heaviest from the east: 15,103 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 38% of the total, against 4,535 from the south. Most cyclists arrived from the south (126 of 309). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 3,324 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,444 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.6% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 3,324 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 3,444 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 Willowdale Ave between Pemberton Ave and Bishop Ave, 156 m from the corner, a 3-day count in February 2020 put the average speed at 50 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 61 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 68 km/h or more. That segment carries about 11,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 6 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Byng Ave C (359 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.4% of the 14,031 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
