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 · Jan 26, 2022
This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 1,513 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 49% of the total, against 78 from the west. Evening rush dominates here: 564 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 418 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 2.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 5 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2022, 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: 418 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 564 from 4:00 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.
Speeds here, last measured in 2017
On Yonge Blvd between Harley Ave and Apsley Rd, 69 m from the corner, a 24-hour count in December 2017 put the average speed at 43 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 50 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 54 km/h or more. That segment carries about 7,500 vehicles a day. The reading is 9 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yonge Blvd · Harley Ave – Apsley Rd · 69 m | Dec 2017 · 24 h | 7,516 | 43 km/h | 50 km/h | 54 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.
