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
The east leg carries the load — 5,854 westbound vehicles, or 43% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 716. The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 2,706 vehicles in the hour from 4:00 p.m., 191% above the morning peak from 8:30 a.m. (931). Heavy vehicles made up 1.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. 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.
Peak hours: 931 vehicles in the hour from 8:30 a.m. and 2,706 from 4:00 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
2019 was the peak year (59 collisions), and 2025 closed with 43. 7% of collisions here involved an injury, below the 15% citywide. 127 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 29% of collisions, a higher hit-and-run share than the city's 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 3% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 32 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 23, 2026.
None of the three serious-injury collisions in 2016–2025 was fatal. 2 pedestrians and 1 cyclist were among those hurt. 2 of the 3 happened in darkness — 67%, above the citywide 39%. The most recent was on Dec 14, 2019.

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 2021
The City's counter on Scarsdale Rd between Don Mills Trail and York Mills Rd (13 m away) recorded an average of 40 km/h in its 3-day count in September 2021; 85% of drivers were at or under 47 km/h. That segment carries about 3,600 vehicles a day. The reading is 5 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
