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 · Dec 17, 2022 · weekend

Traffic is heaviest from the east: 4,086 westbound vehicles entered from that leg, 48% of the total, against 182 from the south. Evening rush dominates here: 1,889 vehicles in the peak hour from 4:00 p.m., against 475 in the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count was taken on a Saturday, so it reflects weekend traffic; the rankings compare it with weekday counts elsewhere. The count is 4 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.

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 York Mills Rd between Cedarwood Ave and Birchwood Ave, 326 m from the corner, a 2-day count in January 2011 put the average speed at 51 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 59 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 64 km/h or more. That segment carries about 9,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 15 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.

At the school-zone speed sign on Gordon Rd (261 m away, 40 km/h limit), 0.1% of the 5,903 vehicles logged in May 2026 were doing 50 km/h or more — almost none.
