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 · Mar 29, 2018
The north leg carries the load — 1,126 southbound vehicles, or 35% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 660. Most cyclists arrived from the north (30 of 73). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 590 vehicles in the hour from 5:00 p.m., 12% above the morning peak from 8:15 a.m. (529). Heavy vehicles made up 0.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 9 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2018, 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: 529 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 590 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).

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 Winona Dr between St Clair Ave W and Barrie Ave (223 m away) recorded an average of 32 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 42 km/h. That segment carries about 2,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

At the school-zone speed sign on Oakwood Ave (292 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 31,596 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Benson Avenue between Winona Dr and Greensides Ave.
