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 · Jun 12, 2024

This is a three-leg intersection with no east leg. Traffic is heaviest from the south: 971 northbound vehicles entered from that leg, 80% of the total, against 4 from the west. Most cyclists arrived from the south (49 of 106). Evening rush dominates here: 140 vehicles in the peak hour from 2:45 p.m., against 96 in the morning peak from 8:45 a.m. Heavy vehicles made up 1.4% of traffic (typical: 3.2%). For scale, a typical counted intersection in Toronto sees 16,177 vehicles over 14 hours. The count is 2 years old; the City recounts intersections on an ad-hoc schedule, so volumes may have shifted since.

How fast traffic moves here

On Barrie Ave between Atlas Ave and Winona Dr, 78 m from the corner, a 2-day count in July 2019 put the average speed at 22 km/h and the 85th-percentile speed at 30 km/h, with the fastest one in twenty at 34 km/h or more. That segment carries about 200 vehicles a day. The reading is 7 years old; the City counts on request rather than on a schedule. Atlas Ave between Dundurn Cres and Hursting Ave measured slower: 24 km/h on average and an 85th percentile of 29 km/h (Jun 2024) — a much more recent reading than the one above. 2 speed humps slow traffic on Barrie Avenue between Winona Dr and Atlas Ave.
