Traffic and safety
The City's latest turning-movement count, every police-reported collision within 65 m, speeds on these streets
Traffic volume14-hour count · Mar 31, 2026
The west leg carries the load — 13,502 eastbound vehicles, or 48% of everything entering — while the north leg brought 1,258. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,577 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,616 from 3:00 p.m. Heavy vehicles made up 3.8% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is recent, so it reflects current conditions.
Peak hours: 2,577 vehicles in the hour from 8:15 a.m. and 2,616 from 3:00 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
2024 was the peak year (11 collisions), and 2025 closed with 8. 22% of collisions here involved an injury, above the 15% citywide. 9 drivers failed to remain at the scene — 11% of collisions, below the citywide 16%. People walking or cycling were involved in 7% of collisions here (citywide: 5%). Since January 2026, 8 more collisions have been reported; they sit outside the ranking window. The most recent report on file is from Sep 11, 2026.
No one was killed or seriously injured here in 2016–2025, the ten complete years the rankings use. 1 earlier KSI collision is on file, the last on Oct 10, 2013. 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.

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 2020
The City's counter on York Mills Rd between Don Mills Rd and Valentine Dr (107 m away) recorded an average of 55 km/h in its 3-day count in March 2020; 85% of drivers were at or under 67 km/h.
