Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Mar 25, 2026
The south leg carries the load — 23,052 northbound vehicles, or 46% of everything entering — while the east leg brought 2,329. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 4,324 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,171 from 5:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 4,324 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 4,171 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 (36 collisions), and 2025 closed with 33. 9% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 23 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 8% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 22 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 24, 2026.
One collision in 2016–2025 left someone seriously injured; it was not fatal. It involved vehicle occupants only — no pedestrian or cyclist. It happened in darkness. The most recent was on May 8, 2018. Going back to 2006, the total is 2.

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 Yonge St between Harlandale Ave and Greenfield Ave (314 m away) recorded an average of 38 km/h in its 7-day count in June 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 52 km/h. That segment carries about 19,700 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
