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 · May 22, 2024
This is a three-leg intersection with no south leg. The north leg carries the load — 145 southbound vehicles, or 44% of everything entering — while the west leg brought 51. Most cyclists arrived from the west (58 of 109). The afternoon peak is the heavier one — 35 vehicles in the hour from 6:30 p.m., 40% above the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. (25). Heavy vehicles made up 3.0% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). The citywide median for a 14-hour count is 16,177 vehicles. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.
Peak hours: 25 vehicles in the hour from 8:45 a.m. and 35 from 6:30 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.
How fast traffic moves here
The City's counter on Alcorn Ave between Lane 1 W of Yonge and N of Alcorn and Lane 2 W of Yonge and N of Alcorn (197 m away) recorded an average of 27 km/h in its 3-day count in November 2022; 85% of drivers were at or under 37 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.
