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 · Oct 2, 2021 · weekend
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 2,897 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 63 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (104 of 206). Evening rush dominates here: 958 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:00 p.m., against 426 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2021, 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: 426 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 958 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).
Collisions 2016–2025 · within 65 m
The peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 3 collisions. 4 collisions (25%) involved an injury. 3 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 19% of collisions. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (6%). Since January 2026, 1 more collision has 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 Nov 29, 2013.

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 2020
On Willowdale Ave between Pemberton Ave and Bishop Ave, 55 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. Pemberton Ave between Willowdale Ave and Longmore St measured slower: 39 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 49 km/h (Apr 2011).
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Willowdale Ave · Pemberton Ave – Bishop Ave · 55 m | Feb 2020 · 3 days | 11,921 | 50 km/h | 61 km/h | 68 km/h |
| Pemberton Ave · Willowdale Ave – Longmore St · 110 m | Apr 2011 · 24 h | 731 | 39 km/h | 49 km/h | 55 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.
