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 · Jul 15, 1991
This is a three-leg intersection with no north leg. The west leg carries the load — 4,644 eastbound vehicles, or 50% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 65. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 1,730 vehicles in the hour from 4:45 p.m., 14% above the morning peak from 7:45 a.m. (1,516). Trucks and buses were 5.3% of traffic, well above the typical 3.2% — a sign of a goods-movement or bus corridor. The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 35 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 1991, 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: 1,516 vehicles in the hour from 7:45 a.m. and 1,730 from 4:45 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 peak year was 2025, the most recent in the window, with 2 collisions. 11% of collisions here involved an injury. 1 driver failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions. None of the collisions in the window involved a pedestrian or cyclist. Since January 2026, 1 more collision has been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from May 21, 2026.
The KSI record for this intersection is empty back to 2006. The police all-collisions file records 1 fatal collision here in 2016–2025; the KSI file, which is compiled separately and geocoded to the nearest leg, places it just outside the 65 m radius.

| All reported collisions | 9 | |
| With an injury | 1 | |
| Property damage only | 6 | |
| Fail to remain | 1 | |
| Involving a pedestrian | 0 | |
| Involving a cyclist | 0 | |

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 2005
The City's counter on York Mills Rd between Old York Mills Rd and York Ridge Rd (307 m away) recorded an average of 58 km/h in its 24-hour count in April 2005; 85% of drivers were at or under 68 km/h. That segment carries about 24,400 vehicles a day. The reading is 21 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
| Street segment | Counted | Vehicles / day | Average | 85th percentile | 95th |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| York Mills Rd · Old York Mills Rd – York Ridge Rd · 307 m | Apr 2005 · 24 h | 24,441 | 58 km/h | 68 km/h | 74 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.
