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 · Nov 24, 2003
Traffic is heaviest from the north: 13,700 southbound vehicles entered from that leg, 50% of the total, against 151 from the east. Evening rush dominates here: 4,335 vehicles in the peak hour from 5:00 p.m., against 3,991 in the morning peak from 7:30 a.m. Trucks and buses were 5.8% 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. The count is 23 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2003, 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: 3,991 vehicles in the hour from 7:30 a.m. and 4,335 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
The worst year was 2023, with 10 collisions; 2025 recorded 6. 9 collisions (16%) involved an injury; the citywide share is 15%. 11 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 20% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. 1 collision involved a pedestrian or cyclist (2%), a low share for a Toronto intersection. Since January 2026, 5 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 30, 2026.
No collision involving a death or serious injury has been recorded within 65 m of this intersection since the record begins in 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 2004
On Yonge St between Abitibi Ave and Nipigon Ave, 48 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.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Yonge St · Abitibi Ave – Nipigon Ave · 48 m | Aug 2004 · 3 days | 52,892 | 45 km/h | 58 km/h | 64 km/h |
| Nipigon Ave · Lane E of Yonge and S of Steeles – Dumont St · 157 m | Oct 2010 · 6 days | 498 | — | — | — |
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.
