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 · Dec 15, 2021

This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The south leg carries the load — 993 northbound vehicles, or 41% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 464. Morning rush is the busier period: 566 vehicles in the peak hour from 8:00 a.m., compared with 410 from 4:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.3% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. 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.

How fast traffic moves here

The City's counter on Ava Rd between Winnett Ave and Atlas Ave (51 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 24-hour count in October 2017; 85% of drivers were at or under 38 km/h.

At the school-zone speed sign on Eglinton Ave W (349 m away, 50 km/h limit), 0.0% of the 8,464 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 60 km/h or more — almost none.
