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 · Oct 27, 2020
The west leg carries the load — 5,943 eastbound vehicles, or 45% of everything entering — while the south leg brought 548. The morning and afternoon peaks are nearly equal: 2,076 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,155 from 4:45 p.m. Trucks and buses were 9.2% 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 6 years old — treat it as a snapshot of 2020, 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: 2,076 vehicles in the hour from 8:00 a.m. and 2,155 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).

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 2012
The City's counter on Valley Woods Rd between Brookbanks Park Trl and York Mills Rd (85 m away) recorded an average of 43 km/h in its 24-hour count in November 2012; 85% of drivers were at or under 51 km/h. That segment carries about 1,300 vehicles a day. The reading is 14 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule.
