Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets, and the red-light camera
Traffic volume14-hour count · Jun 30, 2026
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 17,351 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 51% of the total, against 828 from the east. Most cyclists arrived from the north (104 of 235). Evening rush dominates here: 2,917 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:30 p.m., against 2,615 in the morning peak from 8:00 a.m. Trucks and buses were 6.2% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. This is a fresh count, taken within the last year.
Peak hours: 2,615 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,917 from 5:30 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 worst year was 2016, with 70 collisions; 2025 recorded 14. 28 collisions (13%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 70 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 32% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 9 collisions involved a pedestrian or cyclist (4%), typical for the city. Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Jun 26, 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 Aug 8, 2006.

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 2014
On Yonge St between Abitibi Ave and Nipigon Ave, 143 m from the corner, a 3-day count in August 2004 put the average speed at 45 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 58 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 64 km/h or more. That segment carries about 52,900 vehicles a day. The reading is 22 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Athabaska Ave between Lane E of Yonge and S of Athabaska and Dumont St measured slower: 42 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 52 km/h (Oct 2014) — a much more recent reading than the one above.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yonge St · Abitibi Ave – Nipigon Ave · 143 m | Aug 2004 · 3 days | 52,892 | 45 km/h | 58 km/h | 64 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.
