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

On Yonge St between Montgomery Ave and Roselawn Ave, 397 m from the corner, a 7-day count in June 2019 put the average speed at 39 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 49 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 56 km/h or more. That segment carries about 20,000 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. At the school-zone speed sign on Roehampton Ave (228 m away, 30 km/h limit), 0.6% of the 93,047 vehicles logged in August 2026 were doing 40 km/h or more — almost none.
