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 · Nov 19, 2015
The north leg carries the load — 4,415 southbound vehicles, or 55% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 134. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 1,280 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,223 from 4:45 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.9% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 11 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2015, 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: 1,280 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,223 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
The City's counter on Hollywood Ave between Willowdale Ave and Longmore St (110 m away) recorded an average of 39 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2002; 85% of drivers were at or under 48 km/h. That segment carries about 1,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 24 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Willowdale Ave between Greenfield Ave and Spring Garden Ave measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 48 km/h (Sep 2026) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hollywood Ave · Willowdale Ave – Longmore St · 110 m | Oct 2002 · 24 h | 968 | 39 km/h | 48 km/h | 53 km/h |
| Willowdale Ave · Greenfield Ave – Spring Garden Ave · 234 m | Sep 2026 · 3 days | 9,315 | 39 km/h | 48 km/h | 53 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.
