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 25, 2023
The north leg carries the load — 3,737 southbound vehicles, or 56% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 163. Most cyclists arrived from the north (43 of 81). The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 989 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,029 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.1% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 3 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since. 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: 989 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 1,029 from 5:00 p.m. (approach figures are vehicles entering from that leg over the whole count — one day's traffic, not an annual average).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
2024 was the peak year (9 collisions), and 2025 closed with 6. 33% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 4 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 4% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 29, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Mar 18, 2006.

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 Willowdale Ave between Church Ave and Byng Ave (254 m away) recorded an average of 44 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2026; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 11,100 vehicles a day. At the school-zone speed sign on McKee Ave (343 m away, 30 km/h limit), 9.5% of the 47,374 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — a share the City would treat as a speeding problem.
